Sew a skirt.
People tend to think I am "creative", I adamantly disagree. I believe I have no special talent rather I am passionately curious. Moreover, I love looking at beautiful projects via Pinterest. For example I have a whole "pinboard" just for sewing inspiration that does not include other DIY projects.
Fun fact: I work better if I have a deadline or feel like I am procrastinating and need to accomplish a goal. Therefore, I set Easter as my goal and told myself I would be wearing a new skirt that I created to celebrate.
Timeline of events:
* Early January: Buy the perfect fabric
* January,February, March: Leave fabric sitting out in my living room to inspire me.
* April 1st: Set goal publicly that I will be wearing a new skirt on Easter
* April 1st: Realize that the material I have does not jive with the tutorial....
* April 2nd: Completed skirt (Yes, a 3 month process)
That is exactly how my brain works! Even though the weather was chilly on Easter Sunday I was sporting a my new skirt. Note these pictures were taken while having an Easter Egg hunt with my little cousin Ashley.
There was 60 eggs hid for the two of us. Yes, she is 19 and I am 28. And she found double the eggs I did!
HUGE shout out to my parents, cousins, aunts and uncles for a fabulous holiday weekend even if I do have Shingles.
The skirt is very nice and you should be proud of your accomplishment. BTW, you are very creative and did I mention hardworking, compassionate, intelligent, caring and a beautiful young woman.
ReplyDeleteOh Nicole, you are too funny & sweet! If I were to attempt an undertaking of this magnitude my timeline would resemble yours -- except it would still be sitting in my living room unfinished. I'm happy you were able to make it for Easter and you and Ashley were such good sports (even though you kept losing your shoes!). :)
