December 2019 Box and Plans

For this month, I will have 32 items! I'll need to declutter more items if I wish to purchase more. A reminder to self: For every additional 5 items used (or decluttered), a new item may be bought or brought into the living space for the next month.


Project #1

 For this project, I am going to sew the minky white fabric to the denim blanket.
(5 items)









Project #2
 For Halloween, I found glow in the dark candy wrappers. I am fascinated with everything that glows in the dark. I decided that I want to create a small painting using these wrappers. I am going to count the entire bag as one item.
(2 items)





Project #3

 I have so many journals at home that I need to use up. I some times joke to myself that I have enough journals in stock for 2-3 years of entries even if I write everyday. So, I'll probably be including a journal in my challenge every month. Anyway, my plan for this journal is to make it into a bullet journal. I have been thinking about planning my productivity and projects, especially for 2020. 
(1 item)


Projects #4 and #5

 The two books that I will be reading this month are "Lifespan" and "Wicked Fox".
(2 items)









Project #6

 I will be starting the hat and scarf set this month.
(3 items)









Project #7

 I will be continuing and finishing this project.
(6 items)















Project #8

 This will be an easy project since two of the candles are almost used up. 
(3 items)









Projects #9, #10, #11

These three projects including using these three shirts to make 1 dress, 1 overalls dress, and 1 long sleeve shirt.
(3 items)








Project #12

This is going to be an interesting project. I have 7 shirts that when I printed them for our Spring Concert last year, they did not turn out the way I wanted them to. So, now I am left with these shirts. If I don't get to them, I will donate them to the school to be used as smocks.
(7 items)





I had donated about 8 articles of clothings and 3 rolls of tape (+1 more from my recent tape purchase) so that's 12 items that I had donated. So currently, I can purchase 2 more new items.

October 2020 Plans

Image
      For this month's plans, I will be working on a few projects that I thought are really cool. They all turn out to be crocheting projects, but it's worth it, especially as the weather turns colder.     The first project is a gingham blanket, which I have always wanted to try, but never got around to it until now. I was amazed by the pattern that Daisy Farm Crafts, on YouTube, shared last year. I plan to use my three sets of Caron Simply Soft yarn to create it. I have 3 of each shade of blue and actually started it last week:   4 rows completed     I definitely need to work on the tension since this is my first time making this pattern, and I could already see some parts of the blanket as being looser than the beginning part. (I just placed it nicely in the picture so it wouldn't look so wonky.) I know I should have created a swatch first, but I couldn't wait to start. Here is the video to the tutorial: Crochet Griddle Stitch Gingham Blanket by...

October Update I

Image
 This past week I was able to work a bit more on the blanket and start on the sweater, which I was able to find some unused yarn from storage: Hopefully this will be enough to make the sweater. As for the blanket, I was able to crochet three more blocks of rows and start on another. I'm thinking this blanket may need two months to complete since I will mostly work on it over the weekends. Starting to look very good! Seems like it will fit the width of the bed. I also started on the long-sleeve sweater with the heather gray yarn. I restitched the collar portion three times in order to get a cleaner look. I am excited to create the rest of the sweater! The top collar was redone twice. I decided to try for a third time by making the collar at the bottom. (Took about two hours to make one collar!) Added the bottom portion of the collar. After stitching the collar ends together.

November Update IV

 I've definitely underestimated how much time and energy I would be able to put into my projects these past few days. December is going to be a busy month, for sure. I have numerous projects to complete, especially within the first two weeks of the month since I need to give them away as gifts soon. (I'll get more into the details in the December Box post) I do have pictures of what I've decided to declutter for the minimalism game: Day 26 (Books and a knitting needle set) Day 27 (A few clothes -- more updates at the end of this post) Day 28 (24 magnets, 2 sheets of paper, a Kirigami set, and a bookmark) Day 29 (A variety of craft supplies -- more updates at the end of this post) Day 30 (30 hanger clips) Extra Items that were Decluttered 31 more hanger hooks 14 more books 6 small canvases 39 old batteries 1 broken projector I decided to declutter more items because I kept some items, listed here: I couldn't part with these boots or this Spanish set. I also couldn't ...
