Commitment Issues

Earlier this summer, I signed up for two awesome sew-alongs. My idea of what was actually possible versus my skill level are, sadly, on two completely different levels. So I've amended my pledge for Self Stitched September to wearing handmade and refashioned items of clothing or accessories/jewelery as much as possible for the duration of September 2010. My plan is to continue working through my projects throughout the month (and beyond, obviously!), so hopefully I'll end up with a nice little collection of things by the time October comes. It's really scary to think how fast time is flying by...

It also seems I've gotten a little carried away with buying rayon floral prints. I'm not even sure what I plan to do with all of them but I love them nevertheless. So 90's!

I am trying to be more consistent as far as blogging is concerned too. In my mind, updating more often will force me to be more productive. Which will hopefully get my creativity going so I can find some design work! Here's to being committed :)
