soo finally i came up with a good new years resolution. I want to start giving back more, or helping with a cause, I've been trying to figure out which cause I'de want to focus on, I feel like I shouldnt choose just one, but for now I've decided to help children in need as well as sick children. A few years ago I came across the site www.makeachildsmile.com in a magazine. This website breaks my heart to read about all these children experiencing so much struggle and hardships at such young ages. I feel so guilty for complaining about my own life all the time. Anyways, this site is great for all of you artsy people like me who want to help out, those who arent can too. You can make cards and send them to this kids. You can also buy cards too. They list hobbies of the kids so in the past I tried to make cards about the hobbies the kids like. I really and genuinly hope that these cards have put smiles on these kids faces. So Im definitly going to start making more, at least one a week, its a great way for me to help these kids and its free.
Also I've been trying to find organizations that i can make hats and blankets for, I'm not very good at crocheting, and I don't know how to knit, but I've sewn hats and blankets out of fleece for various organizations in the past, so I hope to find more of those that I can donate to, although with this extra free time on my hands, I do want to learn how to knit and crochet better so I can donate to these organizations
Anyone know of any organizations you can donate fabric too?
I have an extreme amount of extra fabrics ranging from thermal to cottons, silks etc. I don't want to throw it out by any means, so if an organization is in need of some I would love to donate,
ALSO** I have SOOO many stuffed animals from my youth that I can't bear to throw away, I was kind of a stuffed animal junky so alot of them are barely used, and just sat on my bed. So I would love to donate them to kids in need, I know the hospitals don't generally take used stuffed animals, anyone know of other organizations that would take them? or what if I wash them?
http://www.crochetnmore.com/123charitylinks.htm this site lists alot
If you know of any organizations please leave them below!
Welcome to my blog! It's kind of a hodge-podge of projects I'm working on, and mostly just stuff that I like, I know its a little all over the place, but thats just like my brain,feed my fish at the bottom haha (click on the water with your mouse) thanks for stoppin by the right side :)

resolutions
I started a post about my new years events yesterday morning, but got distracted. So I still need to finish that before i do i wanted to write about resolutions. I've been trying to think of some I haven't done before, I mean most of the resolutions I've picked in the past never got resolved so can still be reused. there are 2 in particular that I plan on aiming for pretty hard this year, but i'm not going to say what they are until they're achieved because yesterday was 1.1.11 which on a 11:11 you make a wish, and wishes aren't supposed to be shared, so maybe I'll pretend my resolutions are more luck wishes haha.
resolution #3 Is that I want/need to get a job, I'll share that one in case anyone thats reading this would like to hire me. I told myself that I would look for jobs after the new year.ugh and that time has come. Right now I need a temporary job just so I can have some sort of paycheck again and then all the meanwhile be looking for a real life job or where I can move to get a real life job. What sucks is, currently most of my friends reside in Boston and I would love to move here so I can hang out with them all the time, currently I visit weekly thursday-sunday/monday. But I really don't foresee myself being able to get a job in my career in Boston. and even though I love boston and my friends in Boston, part of me feels like I need a change, a change of scenery and people and everything, I've lived in MA for 22 years and I think I really need to try out living somewhere else. But a move like that scares me immensely. I think I need a life coach haha or just someone to make decisions for me because I'm so bad at it. Another resolution that I will share as that I need to be more productive with my time, I need to start sewing more, painting more and working out more, and I need to stop sleeping in till 11 each day and stop watching so much tv.
so we have job, productivity, plus 2 others, I think thats a good start
Happy 2nd day of your new year, 363 days and 1/4 till next new years soo get a crackin on your list of resolutions
hopefully everyone had a good new years and good luck with your resolutions or wishes.
