As with every other blog on the web I thought I might mention some New Year's resolutions. Generally I think resolutions at the new year are kind of silly. I try to make the necessary changes in my life year round. That said, the new year is as good a time as any to try to do some things a little bit differently. So here's what I'm trying to change:
1. New blog every Sunday!!
2. Improve my posture!
3. Purge my possessions!
Number 3 is the biggie! I'm a huge pack rat, its a real problem. This year I discovered that I feel a ton better every time I get rid of a pile of stuff. Getting rid of things is something that's very difficult for me. I attach emotional value to nearly every thing and that makes it hard to let them go. I feel totally weighed down by all the stuff I have, not to mention that its hard to really get things done when you have to wade through or clean up a bunch of things every time you need to do something! I am going to be trying very very hard to shake out the unnecessary and free up the useful. Its going to feel really good to get out from under the weight of all of that stuff. Then I won't have to feel like this lady anymore:
Now, in the interest of using this blog to really discuss what I've been up to creatively...here we go!
I had a lot of Christmas crafting going on pretty much down to the wire. I couldn't post about them at the time due to them being presents and all, and of course in the rush I didn't get any pictures...so you don't get to see those I guess! Don't worry though it was mostly scarves and such, I didn't crochet the whole solar system or anything! While I have been working some of my own creative projects I've been spending more time on something the hubs and I have been working on! We are taking the first steps to becoming Model Railroaders! We're becoming your grandpas! Despite being a house divided as far as N or HO scale we're pursing N scale for now. Last weekend we went to a train show and picked up some kits. I made these little "suburban homes" this weekend:
I'm sure it will be some time before we have anything impressive, but its nice to have yet another hobby! Hahahahaha!!
We also like to antique...because we fancy ourselves...well...fancy! This weekend I picked up these gems:
Aren't they gorgeous?!?! They are about 4 feet high by a bit over a foot wide. The roosters are made of a mosaic of tiny little rocks. I'm sure there's a technical name for it, but I don't know it. Something fabulously 70s! They need a bit of cleaning (need to figure out the best way to do that, could be tricky!) then I can find them a permanent hanging home! Or, more likely, tuck them away until we make the home buying leap.
I hereby promise to have more for you next week!
TTFN Kids!
