Still Chipping Away

by CZeitler

Every Day bring a slightly new challenge to the forefront. I’m still chipping away at my 100 day challenge, I did have one slip when I found some Fat Quarters for $.50 at Walmart. I plan on making a simple children’s quilt from them for the Holiday Season.

I have managed to work on several projects over the past week and a half. Much of my ‘good’ yarn has been put in plastic bags for easier storage. I have started spinning again and gotten a few ‘puffs’ of wool spun. My singles yarns that I purchased or were gifted years ago are now being made into a large granny square that might be sold or gifted as a decorative throw. I made a sale in my Etsy Shop (total of 2 now, lol). This makes me want to finish the skull earrings I have embroidered, they need their jump rings and earring hooks. My Tie-On Pockets have also made some progress.

I am doing my best to look on the bright side and get through this last hurdle. There is a Quarter left in the year, this Sunday is the Autumnal Equinox so I will use these next three months to close out this chapter of my life and welcome the New!

I hope that you have a great day and remember to Live Life a Little More Abstract!

Digging Out

by CZeitler

Sometimes you dig a huge hole by trying to do what you think is right. At present I am reaping the consequences of my hubris. Despite this I am going to use this as an opportunity for a new start.

To make the most of this ‘new start’ I am planning 2 personal 100 Day Challenges that will go hand in hand.

The first is a moratorium on purchasing new craft supplies. I have a lot already and should be using them up before I think about purchasing more. To that end I am also going to run a 100 day crafting challenge. I plan on making progress on some projects a little each day, hopefully some of these projects can be used as Christmas Crafts, however if not I am not going to worry about it.

I am hoping to use these challenges as a way to remind myself to be grateful for the abundance that I have, as well as using this as an opportunity to get myself more organized. All of these problems have been weighing heavily on me, though I have learned a lot of lessons that will stand me in good stead in the near future. This will make me into a more balanced, responsible, and well rounded person. I look forward to enforcing these changes in my everyday life.

I will start my challenges September 10 and go through until December 19th. I hope that everyone has a great day and remembers to Live a Little More Abstract.
