So you know that back in March I participated in the Daily Marker 30 Day coloring challenge. I made a real effort to color something every day, even if it was only for a few minutes, and I only missed about 3 days out of the 3o, and I was pretty pleased with some of my work. Like this cherry blossom tree.
Since the challenge, I’ve made it a goal to do a little bit of crafting every day. It’s crazy how sometimes you need to force yourself to do something you love, but since having kids I’ve found that when I’m not feeding or reading or driving or doing puzzles or cleaning or kissing booboos or burping or changing or rocking or bathing, all I want to do is SIT STILL. Maybe drink a Diet Coke, or watch a TV show.
So I’m trying to consciously use that time for crafting. The end goal of course, is for more crafting to translate to more blogging, but for now I’m taking baby steps. I’m using the hashtag #everydaycrafting on Instagram to document what I do. So far it’s mostly coloring, and it certainly hasn’t been happening everyday. But keep an eye on it for fun stuff coming soon, and maybe join me in using it when you find a little time to create.
