Wake Up Dreamer
Hello Dreamers,
Lately I have been reacquainting myself with relics of my crafting past- projects I dreamed up but never started or finished.
If you are a crafter, then you know about this stuff. It sits waiting in some bag or drawer you've neglected to open... Why?
I neglect these projects because I either loss interest
Right now, I am in the process of making a dress out of a vintage tablecloth that I bought about five years ago with the vision of turning it into bags and Christmas stockings.
I never got around to making this vision a reality because I couldn't cut the tablecloth. I looked at all the work someone had put into making it and thought it should stay like this. It was so pretty the way it way and me cutting it up might destroy the beauty. So I put it away in a cubby and used it once in a while as draping for photos and videos.
A couple months ago I finally decided to transform it. I found a cute pattern by Simplicity for a simple dress and apron because I figured I should use a real pattern but before I knew it I was redesigning the pattern to make the dress the way I wanted it. As I designed it I became more confident in my creative ability again. My ability to make something cute to wear. I thought of all the clothes I had created for myself in the past. The more I got into the project the more my vision became a reality.
I'm still working on the dress slowly during my time off work. Just enjoying the slow process of making my dreams my reality.
I hope you are making your dreams come true too.
Be Well,
Ramona Magnolia

I neglect these projects because I either loss interest
or I think it's beyond my capacity and that I will just ruin the material. I have a habit of self-sabotaging many of my ideas with negative self-talk.
But I also have a habit of talking myself out of my negative thoughts as well. So eventually things get done, visions are brought to life, and the creative flow continues its journey.
