February is so short of a month that I feel like March sneaks up on me. I love March, though, so it's a happy surprise. It's when spring begins and the flowers start blooming and the weather starts warming up. It becomes sundress season too, one of my favorites next to boot season.
In honor of spring and fresh beginnings, I decided to do something a little different this month on my blog. In order to have a more cohesive feel to my posts, I want to pick an overall theme for the month to work around. Since March 17 is St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd make this months theme green. It will be about more than just the color, although I do have some St. Patrick's Day projects coming up!
What I will focus on this month:
- The color green. For St. Patrick's Day, of course.
- Not spending the green. I'm setting a goal to not buy any new craft supplies this month. Don't worry, it won't mean I will stop crafting! I have more than enough stash fabric and yarn to get me through the month. If anything, it will force me to get more creative. I'd love to get re-acquainted with what I have too. Sometimes I will be looking for a particular fabric and be surprised by something I forgot I had. This will also be a great month for me to actually work on projects that I have set aside and forgotten about.
- Reducing waste. I'm planning some projects to make things that are reusable and reduce the amount of garbage I create every month.
- Using (and repurposing) what I have. It's easy to think of a project and go out and buy the supplies needed. I want to try looking at what I have and finding ways to use them in a project. It's backwards to what I'm used too, but I'm hoping it'll will inspire me to try it out more in the future.
