Blog Fail

Like many things in my life, I have been neglecting this for lack of direction. Now that I'm stuck on the couch recovering from surgery I find myself with time to ponder this.

One of the reasons I wanted to start a blog was to collect my thoughts and interests once again. Naturally, this backfired horribly and made me realize I am all over the place. I find myself wanting to do make up reviews, cooking and crafting posts, pet posts, etc and getting too overwhelmed to do any. I think the first step is going to be making peace with the fact that I'm too all over the place to ever have a truly focused blog.

On the cooking note, I have been improving there. Still using a lot of packets but the boy's parents gave me some spices for my birthday that have really expanded what I can do. The deep fryer has also helped with this. My goals continue to be making more things from scratch and working on presentation. Last year I tried to take a cake decorating class but that fell through. I should really try to find one here or suck it up and try to learn on my own.

As far as crafting goes, it's time to break out the sewing machine again. We just got a new slipcover for the sofa and I'm getting really tired of the complete lack of style in this apartment. I found some fabric online that reminds me of the dishtowels a friend just gave me so I'm going to make some new pillow covers to jazz up the couch. I've also had this weird desire to learn how to cross stitch.

Makeup has been on the backburner since I haven't been feeling as well. Aromaleigh is closing which is sad and until now I've been able to resist the sparkly. I did cave and order sample sets of Ciao Italia, Spells, Mythos, and Wonderstruck though. I have a feeling I'll be ordering full sizes of Spells because I'm a dork and can't resist the Harry Potter.
