Day #4...Keepin it crafty.

Since I've got so much time on my hands nowadays I've gotten back into crocheting. It's pretty much muscle memory, with the exception of turning corners which I totally had to Google til I came across an acceptable youtube video. I'm making a crazy long red scarf, one that should wrap around at least 4 or 5 times and then I'm gonna add toggles to secure the end. If I don't like it I might try to sell it on etsy.

I'm also getting my sewing machine that I got for free off Craigslist tuned up & repaired. I'm excited to re-learn what little I know and really hone my skills. I'm just going to practice on old t-shirts first-- taking them in, hemming, maybe try out some patterns... it'd be cool if I could make some headbands or lil vests... Haha, the possibilities are endless!!!

I'm also baking a lot more. In the last week I've made 2 loaves of banana bread, peach & blackberry cobbler, lemon bars, and chocolate toffee almond cookies. I think I'm gonna start exploring more vegan recipes. Not to say that I'll ever be vegan, but I am working on going back to vegetarianism. I'm slowly but surely eliminating meat from my diet and pretty soon it'll just be down to seafood, which I'll hopefully be able to eliminate too, with the exception of sushi :)

All-in-all, I feel like I'm on a good path to start re-focusing my energies as an individual and an organizer. I'm stoked to see what comes next :)
