For one of my New Year's resolutions, I decided to finally get around to living the minimalist lifestyle that I really wanted. There is little room for much of anything living in a tiny two-bedroom, one-bath with myself, my hubby, and our minagerie of pets; Rocky, the boxer; Copperfield, the corgi-husky; and Lord Sesshomarou, the grey tabby kitty. Our tiny living space, and the prospect of moving in the not-so-distant future (we are NOT having babies in a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house---never going to happen!), gives me plenty of reason to pare-down on some of my things. Thus it begins....
So, sometime around mid-January, I started digging through some of my crafting supplies, mainly my collection of inexpensive acrylic yarns, and realized that I had a LOT more yarn that I thought I did, in addition to several yards of fabric for various sewing projects.This was about the time I decided to finish these projects I already started, from the dreaded cross-stitch project from 6 years ago that I'm only part the way through, to the wedding scrapbook that never-was, and to make space for crafts that I really could enjoy. Scrapbooking was only something I did intermittently during high school and college, but its not something I'm really interested in. The same goes for cross-stitch; this was a fleeting (very fleeting) idea that I had while working at Emory--waaay too tedious for me, and not really useful (sorry folks that like cross-stitch, I'm just not the type of person to decorate my house with framed cross-stitch projects). So, I think its about time to finish up what I have with these crafts, and move on. This year, it will all get done!
