Day 2.1

Last night:

- I made another alphabet letter (C).

- I also ordered some yarn to make this hat for my son.

Today:

- Did 3 loads of laundry!

- Went through the pile of bills and letters and almost took care of them all.

- Bought some plastic storage bins to organize my son’s old clothes. I should probably get rid of most of them. But I don’t know how. I wish there was a yard sale I could sell them for 2$ each! Somehow giving all these clothes to goodwill seems hard. What would make me most content was if I could give them to somebody I knew. But I didn’t want to use secondhand clothes for my son, why would anybody else?

But to my bad luck my right hand ring finger hurts so bad. I know it’s probably because of scrolling with my trackpad but now typing and sewing and knitting all hurt. I hope it doesn’t get worse.

30 Day Project 2 (actually 4!)

From my list I only tried making the pants. They turned out looking good. But I hadn’t measured around his diaper! and I had only made the waist a couple of more inches bigger that his actual waist measurements. This was apparently not enough so it was a little bit hard to put on him. But I liked the feel of it and I’m planning to make one from the same fabric. And if it goes well maybe I buy different kinds of fabric and try a couple more pants.

These past days I’ve been very depressed which I don’t want to go into but I realize now that I shouldn’t base my happiness on external circumstances. I should only think about myself and what I can do to make myself happier and not dream about events or people to change things for me.

So I’ve decided to make this my 30 day project. To do things that make me happy and fulfilled and satisfied no matter what happens around me.

I’ll report more.
