Spring and summer school sessions are officially over for me! I have not had much time during the past few months to spend on crafting and on my overall "me-time" which is upsetting. I use crafting as a stress reliever and spending time with my hobbies helps keep me sane! However, now that I am out of school I feel like I have all the time in the world to spend on long overdue W.I.Ps and to spend on completing my never ending To-Do list!
It is Saturday morning now and I forgot how nice it is to sit in bed with a cup of coffee surrounded by my crafts and books! I am hoping to finish most of the knitting projects I started a while back beginning with the Rikke Hat and I also wanted to add some more squares to my Burrow Blanket. I have also started the 1001 Book Challenge which has been super exciting so far! Some of the books on the list I have already read but I do plan on reading them over. So far this month I have finished A Journey to the Center of the Earth and I have started David Copperfield which I am really enjoying so far. I am also hoping to read some finance books. I got a new job which I love so far and I would like to try to be a bit more money savvy! I have also been spending a lot of time with my friends who I have not seen for months because of school. We have been going on some hiking trips and going out at night which has been really fun and relaxing!
Some things I plan on doing in my free time this summer are :
- Go to the gym more! I have been trying to utilize my planner and I have been mapping out what days I will be going! my goal is 12 times a month! I am feeling more comfortable at the gym and I am actually starting to enjoy my time there!
- Finish a new quilt! I have had most of the fabric cut for a while however the project has been on hold for a while! I also have been designing a new quilt, however I would like to finish the one I started first!
- Create some new recipes! I plan on bringing my lunch and diner to work to save myself some money! You all know I love to cook so I would like to create some new recipes that are travel friendly and do not need to be heated up!
- Move out of my room! One of the reasons I have not been crafting as much is because I am in the process of moving into my brother's old room. I have been cleaning, organizing and throwing out a lot of my items so all my crafting supplies are all over! I am hoping that I will be able to create a nice little crafting corner in my new room to help inspire me and get me out of my little crafting shlump! I obtained my grandmother'd old sewing desk and I would love to sew my quilt on her old machine! Most of my crafting energy has been put into day dreaming about my new craft space, pinning organizational ideas on Pintrest, and picking out colors for my new space!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!
