Been in a really creative mood lately. Started work on the scarf, but literally spent so much time sitting in an awkward position doing it that my back started killing me (I tend to sit in a scrunched up position when crocheting) and so I've set that aside for now. I made a flower crown out of little lavender and yellow fabric flowers, and just got done playing with legos. I'm thinking of redoing the tree in mom's bathroom since it's started to fade since I made it a few years ago. (For those of you who don't know, I made a paper/chalk tree and hung it up on her closet door one day as a pick-me-up when she was really sad.) I'd also really like to do another scrapbook (haven't done one in yeaaaaaaars) but I don't think I have enough pictures to do what I want (a kitty cat one for my babies). Ugh, we'll have to see.
I picked up a wee embroidery project but have yet to start it. I'm just so intimidated by it. It's been so long since I've used a needle for anything other than sewing on buttons or fixing small rips, and idk if I even remember how to do it properly. I don't want it to be utter crap because I want to give it as a gift to a friend, so I think I need to spend a few days practicing. I also wanted to fold some cranes to send off with it, but I think I've run out of pretty paper. Ugh. It's been so long since I've done any origami with anything but receipt paper.
I also want to try making amigurumi again. My last attempt was...not so good. But I want to start making cat toys and cat treats so I guess I need to start practicing.
Other stuff that's on the creative agenda is learning to make lace/doilies (I'm such an old lady y'all) and making my own sodas.
Tonight I think I'm going to make a cherry pie. I might try to do a lattice top instead of my usual kitty cat one. And if the supermarket has a good price, I might pick up a sweet potato and do some fries too. I just...I've been stale for so long. I need to start moving again. I'm slowly strangling myself. I want to get back to the point where I was regularly working on my little kitschy crafts. Maybe I'll decoupage a few Kleenex boxes while I'm at it.
