Third time's a charm!

So clearly I did not get my 'Year of My Own Making' off to a rousing start. Or any start for that matter. 2013 was not exactly a great year for me. Nothing horrible happened. Just lots of stressors, challenges (and I don't mean in a good way) and disappointments. I can't say I was really that sad to see it go.

I do however have high hopes for the new year. 2014 I think is showing some promise. So I am going to give this project a whirl again. To put my love of Pinterest into action, to finish all those half-done projects, and to push my self a little farther than I have done in the past.

I realize it is half way through February, but I am going to post what I have already done this year and move on from there. Trying not to get stuck in the past and working towards new goals will be good for me. The biggest challenges I will have to tackle are squeezing in time around my children and household duties, balancing those things with getting my Barefoot Books business and Pre/Postnatal fitness business off the ground, and my disaster of a craft area.

I hope you will join me with your own year of making things. It should be quite a journey!

A year of my own making

I created a page for the "Year of my Own Making" project and then never did anything with it. I'm finally got to get off my can and do something about that. My year with start with June 2013. It's a new month, I'm ready for some change, this seems like as good time as any, and I have several projects that I have been dreaming of, but not actually doing!

These projects will be craft, cooking, sewing, and home improvement projects. All of the projects will me handmade by me. It will stretch my creative side and let me see what saves money and what doesn't and what is just plain fun!

I am also going to try and take my love of Pinterest and put it to work. I hope to get one cooking and one crafting/sewing project done from something I have pinned weekly. That is probably pretty ambitious, but I'm going to give it a whirl.

I hope you'll join me for a year of my own making...
