I was wanting to post on here, but really didn't know what to post...so I decided to post randomly about projects that are in the middle of my mind (not front and not pushed into the back...but middle because I do think semi-regularly about them). I have more than too much time on my hands lately, with no extra money so these projects are pretty much staying ideas for right now.
(in no particular order)
Project #1:
Project Throw Pillow-
I love to sew...so I've have decided that I want to make some throw pillows for our bed. We don't really have ANY extra money to put towards this project so all I pretty much have is a few fabric swatches. Some of them I like; some of them I don't...some of them match the colors; most of them don't. I have realized that there are just too many shades of green in this world (don't get me wrong green is one of my most favorite colors)I have had a whirlwind of a time find a green that matches. But I have more than enough time to find one because as I stated before we don't have the extra money at the time to put towards this project (heads-up: this is a factor in most if not all my projects)
Project #2:
Project Birthday Presents-
So once again I love to sew...and birthdays are coming up. I have been gathering ideas here and there of birthday presents for friends and family. ::Insert on going factor here::
But soon hopefully we will have some extra money flow into the Budlong family!
I can't go into too much deal in this project because they are birthday presents and I'd hate to ruin surprises.
Project #3
Project Get Elisha a Job-
This has also sadly been an on going project, that has lasted about 2 months now. Thankfully I think I might have found a solution. It might be a little tough starting out but thankfully I learn quickly! For the past three years I've been all kids all the time, and maybe God is just wanting me to get a change of scenery for a few months before diving into this church plant where I'll be handling the nursery and preschool (which is where my heart is). But I can see God's hand in this telling me to take a break for a bit...try something new...thirst yourself for teaching children...redevelop your passion in that area so you will give it your all. So I hope this job opportunity works out and I can get a change of scenery for a bit, so when the church plant finally happens I can and will give it my all and then some. I'm going to apply for a job at JCPenney next Monday...please be praying I get the job!
Project #4
Project Find a Friend (on the Eastern Shore)-
So going from Birmingham, where I had more friends then I knew what to do with, to here on the Eastern Shore, where honestly it's been hard finding just one, has kinda been throwing me for a loop. For some reason it was more than easy for me to make loads and loads of friends in Birmingham, but here on the Eastern Shore it's been 2 full months and yeah I'm getting closer to people but MAN is this friend making business hard! I sometimes feel like everyone had their nice little friend group all set up and here I come and bust into everything and honestly at times (not all the time but sometimes) I feel like there were this imaginary blinking signs that say
NO VACANCY! *welcome to my inner self...enjoy your stay...be forewarned it can sometimes get little scary weird*
I am getting closer though. Jared and I are apart of this wonderful small group. The people are genuine and all around nice. It has taken a bit of time but it is starting to get more comfortable. ::Secret about me:: for those who know me might not believe it unless you've been around when it has happened, but for those who don't might...when I'm in a new group of people I tend to be super shy. I don't know why but I do...and sadly sometimes my shyness comes off as snobbish. Again...I don't know why and I don't mean for it too...it just does. So, I'm praying the shyness finally leaves me to just be me all the time.
Project #5
Project Sew Jared's shorts-
I'M SUCH A PROCRASTINATOR!
Project #6
Project Jewelry Maker-
I always have so many creative ideas rounding around in my head and very few of them ever get past that stage mainly because of the ::insert on going factor here::
But...I love jewelry and have for a while wanted to make jewelry, so once we get some extra money flowing in I'm going to try and jump on that because like I said I have for a while wanted to do this.
This pretty much for now sums up my project ideas...I'm sure more will come along because I have too much time on my hands..thus ideas are always popping up left and right. :-)
