this kit to make this tiny sea shell thing. I couldn’t really find any patterns that really appealed, but this i thougth would look Ok in anyones bathroom etc. I have yet to open it now. But as soon as I feel more secured in my job…I shall do it.
Perhaps it can be a new hobby. Boy don’t I sound enthused…
[erhaps I can put it on the eating nazi’s wall.

Sudden idea
16 months ago
I have decided I might like to take up Quilt making. My Mom and I used to make simple quilts together.
Most of those quilts are now getting a little worn. I like the idea of doing something creative that also has a use…
Since I am financially strapped now, I may have to see if my Mom really wants her sewing machine any more (Since she has it stored away and doesnt use it I think she does not want it…)
I’ll let this idea sit for a bit before I run out and purchase a ton of stuff…Definitely not an active hobby though…it would be nice if I knew how to do this well, because then I could give some more personalized gifts etc…but this is going to take some doing…since even just one quilt is a long term project.
(Thanks to Nonna Cookbooker as it was her entry about quilting that made me see this as an option!)

most people really want to be more active. I am having a lot of changes and I need to be less active. I am not really excited about that, but I do need to find something that is not running/swimming/training that satisfies me.
I’ve tried Mosaic, cross stitch, without satisfaction. I do enjoy reading, but, I need to do something else. I might just get some crayons today and do a little bit of plain childish coloring.
