Week Three, A meeting with reality

This week i have had a house guest all week, and did not get started on any project until just now. I have been watching dancing online, and am rather frustrated, because i realize that there are 6 year olds who are better at dancing than I am. Way better. But it comes back to What i have shared with you about my sewing "dare." I never stick with things and become great. I am constantly being ok at tons of things, but rarely do i focus my energies. I can pursue as many things as is right for each season of my life, but if i flit about from one to another, Then i don't end up being successful at anything. I want to be the person who does each thing in life with precision and perseverance.
So I got up from watching Dance online, tried to stretch my leg above my head, (ahha! nice try sukka). I got myself a small bowl of ice cream and got to work. Which was a good plan since, really, i have been waiting all day for this time of solitude so that i can SEW! First of all, I finished my little project that i was working on earlier today. It is beautiful in my head. In actuality, my pattern needs some adjustments. It just didn't translate well from my head to the material. But it is in there. Just needs some tweeking. I want the arms to be longer and the feet to stand out better. But over all, i like it. Its a good start. And i just happened upon some purple yarn that matched with the pattern. So I opted for purple hair instead of the original plan of having funky ears.

Glitz fish started out pretty simple, and ended up getting some fun hot pink flair, just caz. I couldn't resist.

Both were harder than i thought, not because they were in nature actually that hard, but because i haven't really ever done anything like this, so there were lots of little details i over looked and had to go back and fix.


I did it!
