Hello!

Here it is the first of December and I feel like I don’t have a lot to show for it. I am trying to think back and look at photos to see what I’ve done the past year. I think every year I feel like I didn’t do enough. I wasn’t productive enough and I have to get over that. There’s no measuring stick sitting there that says you have to do a certain amount to be a good person.

I do have a pattern for blogging. I start out at the beginning of the year thinking I’ll blog more, it drops off, I pick it up sometime mid year, it drops off again, and then towards December I have time to sit down and say, what did I do?

This December, I have a lot of time to think about what I did this year because I fractured a bone in my ankle the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The only good thing was that we had already planned to go out to late lunch on Thanksgiving with my family. I wasn’t on the hook for the big meal on turkey day and was so relieved I didn’t have to cancel on everyone. With the help of my husband, I made a pecan pie with store bought pie dough. We took the pecan pie to his family’s house to gather for dessert.

I am wearing a walking boot which makes it a little easier to get around but I’ve injured my right ankle. I am unable to drive or sew at this time. Not being able to sew puts a damper on things because I had planned to make a few holiday gifts. Nothing too fancy. I’m putting those on the back burner for now and will revisit them when I’m able. Maybe I’ll get them done before Christmas Eve?

My husband and son did go get a Christmas tree yesterday from a local tree farm. They put it up and decorated it and it’s ready to go. I was able to sit at the kitchen table and wrap a few presents. I shopped for a few things before I slipped and fell.

I’m not participating in any challenges for blogging everyday of December or doing vlogmas on YouTube. One thing I am thinking of doing this month is to create a Becoming Board. Similar to a Vision Board but you put things on your board (I’ll use Canva to make mine) that you want to become in the next 3 to 6 months. As you do those things you replace your initial pictures of the thing you want to become to pictures of yourself doing the thing.

I may not share my whole Becoming Board but I might talk about a few of the sections of it.

Happy Making!
