I love Easter for so many reasons first of which is that it reminds me of the cross without which I would not have hope and zeal for this gift of life that I have been given. I also love all the spring colors and beautiful weather. It is another opportunity to get together with family and friends which is always enriching. Like Red Jade mentioned in her previous post we had a blast this Sunday. Amidst the stories and laughter we discussed why we struggle with discipline and we decided we will hold each other accountable as we each try to attain to a specific goal.
My goal is to learn how to sew well. I have dabbled with sewing in the past and have always wanted to take it seriously and use it as a creative outlet. To raise the bar of accountability, I plan to post a picture of something I have made by the end of May. I hope to make clothes (simple patterns to start with), make curtains, do some embroidery and make pillows. I would love to hear from you if you want to join me in this challenge. When I first came to the United States I was surprised at all the opportunities for do-it-yourself projects. I am learning that using my hands to create something is very therapeutic and will help me build a valuable skill. You never know....maybe we will be competing on Project Runway someday:-)
Here are some of the resources I will be using
