Polymania....

 As of lately, I have been obsessed with polymer clay and making charms.  I have watched tons of YouTube videos on the basics of charms, how to make cute charms, etc.  Crafting those little charms is an art.  Some people can make their charms look like real cookies or biscuits, and then there are people who make super kawaii charms...I love it all!  Here are a few charms that I have made:

Every Day Should be Thanksgiving

I know it is January and I am thinking about Thanksgiving already, but I feel that the we should be thankful for everything and everyone we have in our lives everyday, not just Thanksgiving.  I have noticed that lately I have been complaining a lot, feeling bad for myself, etc.  I have made a personal goal for myself, that each day I will write five things that I am thankful for that day...and today will be the first day...
Today, I am thankful for:

• my job-I need to stop complaining about it...
• my car- even though I am mad because I will have to be without my car for a day while it gets fixed, there are many people out there who do not have a car at all...
• my mommy-she is so awesome and is always there for me...
• deodorant-so I don't have to be stinky... :)
• false eyelashes-instant "make-me-feel-glamorous" feeling

                                                                                   Catch you all on the flipside...

Polymer Clay Adventures...

Lately, I've been trying to make charms out of polymer clay.  I wanted to try something new for when I needed to give my wrists a break from crocheting.  I think it is fun, except I am really bad at it still!  

 I made a few Batmans, two baseballs, a pig, a bear, and a panda.  I haven't really got the hang of working with clay yet, but I hope with practice, I can get better...I hope...
  I also made a collage of the my recent crochet creations.  I made a kitty, a dragon ball, a Hello Kitty, a Minnie Mouse hat, and a panda earflap hat.  I am currently working of an frog earflap hat. I will post pictures up of it when I finish it...I just need to find the time to finish it in between school and work!

New Year...New Me?

Well, it is that time of year again, the beginning of a new year...and time for everyone to make those new year's resolutions.  I have a few resolutions this year, so I hope I can achieve my goals and make 2013 the best year yet...

Resolutions

Lose Weight:  

This is one of my biggest goals this year.  I am finally going to make this happen.  I really want to be healthy, lose the fat, and increase my energy levels.  I am going to start slow by first eating smaller portions, then continually add healthier choices to my lifestyle.  

Make Myself Happy:

I really need to start doing what makes myself happy.  I always do what others want me to do and rarely do anything for myself.  I am always out to please everyone else except myself all the time.  I do things that I don't want to do just to please others.  I really want to start taking time in my day/week to have some time to myself and do what I want to do.

Pick Up Good Habits:

A few good habits that I would like to pick up are being more organized.  I am a very messy person, I really want to start cleaning my room, keeping my purse organized, etc.  Also, I want to make sure I make a habit of always taking my makeup off at night.  Sometimes, I get lazy, but I need to take my makeup of f regardless.

Complete a 52 week project:

I thinking doing a 52 week project will be really fun.  I know last year, Rebecca from Manzanita did a 52 week project where she crocheted a granny square each week.  I really want to do that.  It seems achievable yet a bit challenging.

Those are my New Year's Resolutions...what are some your resolutions?
