In "Craft for the Soul" Pip Lincoln suggests trying new projects as a challenge, in a format. For example 7 or 52 or 365 projects, so one every day for a week, or one a week or something every day. Now, while I have the obsessive personality that makes me want to drop everything and make stuff 24/7 I have a life.
I have an understanding husband who will still like to be fed (Yes, he can cook for himself but considering his wages pay the rent, I think I should do the cooking. Plus I'm a better cook. Except at scrambled eggs and pancakes.) I have two children with special needs who need waaaaaayyy more attention than I thought would be necessary before I had them. I have a very small business to run. I need to plan my ideas accordingly.
I want clothes, but I can't make a new skirt every day for 7 days, let alone 365 days of clothes! (I see people decluttering online and all I can think is who needs 38 tshirts, really?!) I did consider a piece a week but I have too much rest-of-my-life to manage that. So, instead:
That's right, I'm going to make 26 pieces over the next 52 weeks. I need an entire wardrobe, and I also promised to make Felix a peacoat from his horrible overcoat, among other things.
I have already made my first piece and I'll show it off next post, along with a musical legend.
