Soooo my Internet is down and so is my cable...but have I despaired? No! Why? Because I'm a crafter that's why. For the past few days I've been looking up and trying out different projects that I've wanted to do or that I've found on YouTube and have been having a lot of fun. :) When my net is back on I'll share some of what I've done because it's a bit too annoying to do on my iPhone.
Anyway. As of today I have exactly 3 weeks and 3 days until I pop. That is 24 days!
So I got to thinking...there are so many cool projects I want to do and I have soooo much time to do them (since all I do is eat, sleep, and walk my dog D:). I also really need to start getting into a routine working mode if I truly intend to sell my work (after all you can't sell what you don't have right?) annnd developing said work habits def won't be so easy once the little seed is out the womb and in my arms.
Sooo I've decided to create a 23 day challenge (starting today). Why 23? Because 2, 3, and 5 are my favorite numbers and my 24th day challenge of childbirthing is more than enough to take on for one day.
The challenge is this...
I'm going to make a bucket list of 23 projects for me to complete over the next three weeks. Every day, once the projects are done, I'll post pictures (maybe video) of my project :). I might be late posting for the first few though...due to the Internet thing.
The projects won't be done in order though. I'll probably take on a project each day depending on how much free time I know I have, if I have all the materials ready, so on and so forth...for projects that are really quick I might make two :)
The list
1. Finish lion rattle for Julian
2. Finish baby blanket for Julian
