A Botton Lampshade and My New Year "Ideas"

This Beautiful Button Lampshade was inspired by a photo on pintrest, I saw the picture and my sorrowfully plain lampshade, and ran, grabbed my button jar and the glue gun. I was so excited about my wonderful new project it rubbed off on Imagination Girl and Jewel, they wanted to join me in gluing buttons. And I think that if we had more plain lampshades they would be covered in buttons as well.

I always end up making resolutions and then even if I had already started them, as soon as they became resolutions I failed to resolve them. My theory is this, as soon as you have to do them (resolve to do them) Procrastination immediately starts its war against getting thing done in a reasonable amount of time or at all. So this year I am not making resolutions at all, instead I am listing some "ideas" for the New Year. If I write them as suggestively and attractively as possible, it might become absolutely irresistible to get them all done.

One, Make Money. This may include filling out applications, interviews, getting a job, working, cashing paychecks $$, tithing, saving money, spending money (for some weird reason this "idea" seems necessary for the upcoming year).


Two, Make My Body Stronger(Keep it Beautiful). This "idea" has the possibility of doing physical workouts such as, yoga, Pilate's, and then some more disagreeable types of workouts, which if mentioned, will wreck any sort attractiveness of this "idea."

Three, Develop Skills Needed For My Future Career In Costume Design. This could involve taking sewing classes, practice projects, and other sewing/clothes/costume related things. (This "idea" I should have put on top, I certainly like it the best).

Four, Become A Payed Artist. This might include buying vintage clothes (cheaply, at Bostwick Auctions) to up cycle and sell on Etsy along with original clothes made by me! Which means lots of materials and sewing, designing enjoyment. (This "idea" is sounding quite attractive).

A New Year should begin with inspiration,an inspiration to live life to the fullest, filled with love for the one that loves me, filled with joy for the things He has done and continues to do in me, full of the peace that I am His Beloved.
