I have created a training for myself, all things creative. I’m learning to sew and upcycle my clothes, finally made some progress on my tote! Hopefully I will finish it soon. I had imagined I would be able to just create a tote in 2 seconds, like I’m on Project Runway, LOL. Forgetting I don’t know much about sewing, besides the occasional button to resew, a patch here or there, so at this point I have to learn everything! I’m really enjoying sewing, it’s calming, it has a meditative quality to it, I love it.

I’m also learning to play the guitar, and I go back and forth from practicing my chords, or the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley, I really enjoy playing. I can’t wait for my fingers to get used to playing, have tougher callouses. So I can play until I’m ready to stop, but I feel like I’m making progress, I’m able to strum the strings and sing my song, one line, one note at a time, it feels so good to keep a promise to myself. Learning to create music on a guitar has always been a dream of mine, I’m grateful for the time to learn. I’m practicing every day, for as long as I can, some days are better than others, waiting for my fingers to get used to playing the strings.

I’m also exploring cooking, and photography. All the photos in my blog will be my own. This journal has been a great addition to a whole other creative side I haven’t fed, writing. It’s been fun to reread some of my older posts. Lots has happened, and more to come. This blog has been a lot of fun.
