Projects
I am almost done. It feels so good. I have been working on a crocheting project and only have a few days left. I will post pictures at the end of this week. Its not perfect, but I am pretty darn proud of it! I guess I don't have to worry about being bored. I have found enough for me to do, which is so wonderful!
Next up, I am have some ideas for sewing projects. I have had this sewing machine since I was 14 or 15. It was a great gift from my parents for my birthday. I really did want to learn how to sew. Since I received it, I probably have sewed a total of 3 projects, as well as hemming and little things like that. I regret not learning more and sewing more. I have a master sewer as a mother. She got her associates in Sewing, and sews like a true master of the art. I should have taken advantage of the fact that she was right there, and I could have asked her to teach me how to do it, but alas, I did not. So, I'm left alone (but at least a phone call away) to my sewing desires, with the hopes that someday I will become half as good as my mother. So started my idea of some sewing projects. I'm really excited. Hopefully I will improve my lacking sewing skills, and increase my health. I think anything that is goal related, will improve my health if I strive to accomplish it. Sewing and crocheting are both good for my mind and body, my mind because I am still learning even though I am not in school. My body, because it keeps my hands busy, less down time to hold food I should not be eating... Its a win-win situation. I just keep those hands busy.
Another ongoing project I have is practicing the piano. I've been playing the piano since I was probably 8 years old. I have always loved playing it, but kind of put it on the back burner the last year or so because I needed to finish school. I only really practiced the piano once a week, on Sundays, and the it was really only stuff I already knew how to play-just to try and keep my talent where it was at. Well, I don't think I kept it where it was at, but I am working back up to it! It feels so good to touch that beautiful keyboard everyday. My mind is clearer. My heart is more joyful. I am humming music more. Just like I used to. I am getting as good as I once was, and it feels amazing. Right now I am learning a piece by Rachmoninoff (sp?). Its super cool, and super hard. I had to work a whole week on just playing hands seperately, and even still as I play hands together, its pretty slow going. Its fun to challenge myself. Its been a long time since I learned a new song. The only issue I have is remembering what all of the terms are (they are all in other languages, italian, french or latin, I don't remember). So, I need to get my hands on a music dictionary. That would help me a lot. The search is underway as we speak (or I type in this instance!).
Enough of my jabber. I'm just so excited to be doing these things! Being graduated from college is so liberating and so wonderful! I'm glad I did it now! Now, I can learn what I really want to learn, instead of what the University tells me to learn, and it is so liberating!
Those are my projects for the week. What are yours?
