sizzling summer

The first day of summer has subtly announced itself, with gray sleepy skies that threaten rain and possible thunder. I don’t mind the lack of heat, and of course I never mind a good thunderstorm. For about a week now, I’ve been compiling a list of the many things I want to get done this summer, crafty and otherwise… but mostly crafty. Because that’s what I love!

So here it goes so far, but don’t be surprised if I add more!

THIS SUMMER I WANT TO:

  • paint one wall in my room with magnetic paint and make it a collage wall
  • rick rack flowers

  • apply and stock up for Crafty Bastards in DC on September 30
  • embroider something on a golf shirt for my dad for father’s day
  • try to embroider a photo on something for my mom
  • sell my scrapbook stuff on ebay
  • figure out how to make these rick rack flowers
  • make beads out of starburst wrappers
  • get the sewing room straightened up and figure out what i can do with all this fabric
  • use lots of fabric so i can buy more
  • make one or two pairs of sleep shorts, at least one dress, and at least 3 skirts… oh and that turquiose shirt w/buttons
  • get a beading corner set up in my room
  • contribute to the sampler
  • try to write a poem every day and hopefully blog them most of the time
  • give caroline (little neighbor who just got a machine) and brittany (soccer friend who just got a machine) sewing lessons.. i would have so much fun teaching them!
  • ice cream/sorbet at versailles

  • get a raise
  • eat ice cream
  • through july and august, work at least 100 hours
  • no spending money – save save save!

    Good luck trying to fulfill them all! I think it’d be heaps of fun. And those rick rack flowers look so cool! It’d be awesome learning how to make them.
