Weeks 1 and 2 - January 2020

January 12, 2020

The past two weeks since the start of 2020, I decided to give myself a break with working on some projects. However, I did declutter this weekend! (And bought some items) 5 items plus 10 other art books that I lost the photo of somewhere... (15 items total) 13 items 6 items plus 25 drawings pencils, which I forgot to take a picture of (31 items total) 4 items (counting each bundle as 1 item) 7 items That makes 70 items! (480-70 = 410 items to go) For this month, I would also like to focus on being less busy and feel better about letting things go. I bought 1 BB cream because I wanted to use my eyeliner but with a primer at the bottom. I also bought another sunscreen facial moisturizer since I realized the one I was using seems to have a harmful ingredient in it. I consider these 2 items as needs and replacement so I will not need to declutter for these 2 items. I also purchased 4 holiday items that I will be giving away this coming December. Since these ar...

Update - Day 1

So, how did I do this first week? Let's see: Project #1 The Final Result! Project #2 The Before: Originally, I wanted to have a rolled up effect. Watching BluprintDIY as I worked. Hemming the edges with a zigzag stitch. I used up all the hem tape! Woohoo! In the end, I decided to just hem with the hem tape. Project #3 This skirt was too wide. I realized that in addition to making the skirt shorter, I would also need to take in the sides. I measured out my waist. Then, I decided to seam rip the waist band apart. I sewed the side of the skirt... ...and tried it on again. It fit perfectly! Next, I hemmed the bottom. And the lining. Finally, I ended it with the hem. And it fits! Project #5 I was able to crochet 1 more set of each color. This is the actual width....so I have a while to go. Projects #7 and #8 The book, "Keeper of the Lost Cities," is...

January 2020 Box and Plans

January 01, 2020

HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's the start of a new year. This year for me is all about decluttering, no-buy on non-essentials, using and cherishing what I have already, and saving as much as I can. I have decided to make a big career change, and will need this year to focus on it. Thus, I will be sewing less and letting go as many sewing materials as I can (this would include mostly clothes that I have lying around waiting to be altered). I keep reminding myself that just because I'm getting rid of the sewing materials and sewing less this year does not mean I am a failure in any way. I also need to declutter because when I move from my current apartment, I do not want to have the hassle of moving so many items, or waiting until then to declutter. I believe that will get overwhelming. As I declutter, I plan to cherish and use what I already have and try to get over the mentality that I always need something new because in reality, I don't. Finally, I would like to save as muc...
