This year for my birthday project I've decided to do something a little different. I got the idea from Elise Blaha Cripe ... (do you read her blog? She is a creative genius, I tell you!) and thought it was fantastic. Basically, I attempt to accomplish 25 medium to large craft projects before I turn 26. These have to be personal projects or gifts, which means a lot of sewing, painting, decor projects. Anything I made for my Etsy shop doesn't count as well as recipes or scrapbooking. I've already done 2, so I think I have a handle on this thing. I'm making stuff all the time, but forgetting to blog about it, so this will hold me accountable. It will also give me a deadline to finish those projects that I've started and that have been lingering, waiting to be finished. I'm loving this already. I've always liked the idea of "25 before 26" lists or what have you, but I've never really stuck to them. This 25 project thing is something I'm really looking forward to. And without having a set list in mind, it gives me creative freedom, which is perfect. I love dreaming up things to do next. So, I will try to post the first project I've completed since my birthday tomorrow morning. I'll see you then. I'm excited to keep you all updated.
If any of you are doing birthday lists or other similar projects, please tell me about it!
I'm working on my 25 before I'm 26 list - I have until April to finish my goals and I don't think it going to happen. :(
ReplyDeleteYou are over halfway done though, and that is a huge accomplishment! Good luck on the rest of your list Han :)
