I realized that life got in the way, and I never published my Pile and a Plan post. I will soon, but here's my general ramblings that came up as I thought about my pile of fabric and patterns that I've yet to begin on.
Due to minor health issues and an overwhelming influx of
sewing orders for Christmas, I’ve yet to complete any of the items of clothing
I planned to sew for myself. I made myself cut out the first pair of pants the
other week before our last minute trip, but have yet to get anything sewn since
we’ve been back. Hence, the implementation of a stricter schedule for myself. I’ve
got to get things together if I want to accomplish anything in by the end of
the year.
I like to try to start the year with a fairly clear schedule
of projects. I like starting the year out with finishing a project, and starting a project, it's good luck, I guess. And having a clear schedule makes me feel excited about all the potential I have to get accomplished in the coming months. So, I’ve got to finish as many of my WIPs as possible in the next
six weeks. As someone who only gets weekends off, and Thanksgiving weekend and
Christmas day, I don’t have a lot of extra time lying around in my schedule to
get things sewn.
I’ve started diligently taking my knitting to work with me,
and actually knitting on my lunch break. It lets me end each day knowing that I
made some progress on something each day, even if no sewing gets done.
As difficult as it has been, I’m forcing myself to get up
early again so I have time in the morning to get things done too. I’m very behind
on an editing job, hopefully my last one for the year. And super behind on
sewing orders due to our last minute trip. But the sewing ones are easy to
catch up on once I find the time and motivation.
And, I really do want to regularly write. Here on the blog,
as well as for myself. Stay tuned for updates!
And pictures. I’ll be better at getting pictures in my posts too.
