I once wrote that I don’t do art.
I enjoy art but I just don’t do art. But lately I have spent pennies. Lots of
those. To buy me a wonderful yet I don’t even know why I bought it kind of hand
craft tools. Hand crafting is an art right?
I do paper quilling. Knitting.
Cross stitching. I also get myself a cooking book. I even bought some stuff to
make my own batik. I know I am unbelievably unexpected slash a tiny little bit
creative slash stupid slash wanting too much. There’s just so many things going
on in my head and that doesn’t make me feel comfy with my life and it needs to
get out of there. So rather than drinking and doing drugs I chose hand
crafting.
Some of those tools are not
expensive which I realize more than ever that this is the reason why I spent
more that I’m already budgeted. Because it’s not expensive than I think it
wouldn’t be considered as a sin if I buy one or two more of it –or three or
four. Or five– that when the bill come I am shocked.
So here’s the progress of my latest
project:
- Cross stitching: I already made 4 of it and have 3 as my ongoing work including 1 for my mom’s birthday present.
- Cooking: am still trying to find the ingredient for my recipe.
- Knitting: stopped at first layer since the downloaded tutorial video gets so stingy and decided to stop at first layer only –oh I’m mistaken myself, it was an expert tutorial. Of course it stopped at layer one– (then I just lost interest to find any tutorial for beginner). That’s why I’ll take knitting course on my next Christmas holiday.
- Batik making: struggle to find a crew since THE backache and headache and sore eyes are in ‘da house as if I am a 90 years old grandmother. I am also taking batik class for my next Christmas holiday.
- Paper Quilling: I made one or two handmade cards, for my friend’s baby’s birthday, for my friend’s new house, for my friend’s wedding. Proud of the results but not proud of the idea since I still need back up from a guy called Google for examples. Aaannnd I have a huge help for the finishing that’s why these cards are brought into reality and not just stay in fantasy as some of the other project.
I am finding another new things
to live the day. Right now I am picturing myself:
- Holding my finished beautiful handmade batik, and rushing to the tailor to make it as a skirt –see!! I am futuristic *hahhahha I wish*, I think of details..people!! Instead of making just batik I thought about the pattern and the finishing goods of it–;
- handing THE handmade cross stitch on my mom’s birthday;
- proudly present a very nice scarf if sweater is too much as the final result of my knitting for my love one;
- and not to mention standing on my own snack booth that me and my friend has planned.
God!! Imagine how beautiful life
would be. I am full of interest yet when someone says amen of my word and ask
me to join them for a ride to live up my idea I would say no –no wonder my
girlfriend fed up and left me. *and I do miss her big time*–
So I have a lot of good intention
but I execute it not too well. Hope it’ll stop. There are just moments when I lay
down on my bed and imagining myself doing a lot of stuff. From rereading my
college books to just brushing my teeth. Wake up girl!! None of them are gonna
happen without the real brain, hands, feet, and body of yours.
I need me.
I need me.
My hands are just soooo full
right now. Nothing wrong with it. Just let THE 100% Maria support Maria 100%.
