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.
My hands are just soooo full
right now. Nothing wrong with it. Just let THE 100% Maria support Maria 100%.
