It's a new year and a fresh start! Last year my goal was to be more creative and try to sew things I have never sewn before. With a child that was 5 months last January and is only 17 months now and becoming pregnant at the end of summer not as much sewing happened the first 10 month of the year. I believe the only sewing I did the first 5 months complete a quilt and sew a top of a t-shirt quilt. It wasn't until about Halloween that I started sewing again when I made Ellie
a cape and appliqued an emblem to her shirt to be
Word Girl for Halloween. Around Thanksgiving I finally started feeling more energetic and when I went to Montana at Thanksgiving time my mother and I put together several casserole carriers and I decided to start this blog with
my first tutorial on the Casserole Carrier. I have since then completed several projects that have been sitting around and I have even sewn a few things for the fun of it!
My Creativity Goals this year:
- Write 2 tutorials a month
- Open an Etsy account
- Participate in a craft fair
- Sew my girls matching/coordinating dresses
- Complete some house projects (decorating)
After writing my goals out last night I read my
husbands blog this morning regarding
New Beginnings and he posted this verse;
Lamentations 3:22-23
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
How thankful I am that his mercies are renewed every morning and I don't have to be consumed by my failures. Even if I fail in my attempt to be more creative this year I will not be consumed by failure for I know my God is compassionate and every morning is new!
