Kicking Ass

Well, I've been kicking ass creatively today. I finished a scarf that I made with two different yarns and my biggest crochet hook, from a pattern. I finished the afghan I've been working on since October. I still have to weave in the ends. I was just so sick of making the thing, I thought to myself, "I can just quit". I did just that. It's a cross between a throw and an afghan. I picked up the Rune bookmarks I started last summer or fall, don't remember, and finished the stitching on them. I don't know why I was such a perfectionist about the stitching, it's really very simple, just lines. Now I have to cut them out, back them, and laminate them. The hard part is over though.

I organized my embroidery and crochet supplies tonight too. I'm giving Star my extra orange and brown yarn as I am truly sick of those colors. I have a lot of blank stuff I could embroider. Some of it should be dyed first. Really trying to finish my current embroidery project before I start another one. Mom dyed some dinner napkins for me, a soft green. We were hoping for a spring green, it turned out more of a fall green. She says that Rit liquid dye is easier to work with than the powder and the color is more even.

I had an attack of low self-esteem today and yesterday. This surrounding my creative writing. I just don't have a lot of confidence in that area right now. Hopefully my recent successes with crafting will spill over into the writing arena. Seems like they are two different things though. I did get my notes typed up for Prehistory, but I still have to rewrite the story. I wonder if I could get a friend or family member to either set up imaginary deadlines for me or nag me about schoolwork or both. Would that work? I could try it. Seems like I shouldn't be roping people into this.

Mars is direct! It's been retrograde for almost 3 months. I know I'm starting to feel more energized. Lots of creativity and thinking about creativity for me. That's been the main effect of Mars in Leo in my chart. I did a load of dishes and a load of laundry today too. And made French Toast for dinner. Was in my jammies or sweats all day. Well, that's all for now! bye
