Adventures in Procrastination Ville: I have a Blog

I have a diary, but I’m told I write better when I’m writing an email or a letter to someone, better at telling the story then whining to myself, yes I can see how that sounds much better. So there’s the thing: I’ve been wanting to start a blog forever now, and I’ve attempted it but I need the discipline, so get ready for possibly the worst blog ever.

It’s a sunny Friday, in May, somehow it’s nearly halfway through 2013, and I’m still in disbelief.  I swear yesterday it was March. I’ve read theories that time is speeding up, somehow the earth is spinning faster so the days and nights are getting shorter. Perhaps, but then maybe it really is just cause the older you get the more things your head is preoccupied with so time just seems to speed past you like lighting. I’m satisfied with either, both explain how I’m already 30 and yet still feel like 25, not 20 anymore though, I don’t want to be 20 or a teenager ever again.  I was a young naïve 20 year old and I truly feel like I’ve grown up a lot in the past 10 years, I can’t wait til I’m 80, I’m going to be a frickin genius. Fun times ahead.

I’m getting off topic again, starting my blog, it’s a sunny day in May, a Friday. A long weekend for me, it’s always a long weekend for me. Well let’s be honest I don’t work so really I’m just on constant holidays, a kept woman, and it really is the life. I don’t need much, food on the shelves, a little garden outback where I can grow my own vegetables and hopefully some fruit trees. This is Ireland you really don’t need to be blessed with a green thumb, the climate kinda does everything for you.  Some clothes to wear, I’m not fashionable at all, jeans and a t-shirt will do. So I’m kinda blessed, and I have an awesome and supportive boyfriend that well let’s me do all this. I keep saying that I’m wanting to build a fine arts business to make money, and I’ve had many ideas rambling around in my head for awhile now, transferred to scraps of miscellaneous paper here and there. I am the epitome of organised. Yes organised chaos and I wonder why I’m not the most productive person in the world.

So this blog is going to be the chronicling of these ideas coming to fruition.  Ideas around the house, around the garden, creative projects that I want to build, ideas to photograph, crafty projects, writing projects, etc. I’m very exciting about starting these projects, taking one day at a time working on them. The ideal life is traveling around the world, taking photos of life all around, coming home, putting around the garden, building things in the future studio, getting to create things with my hands. These are my dreams and it would be great to start working towards them, instead of daydreaming about them, so here’s to starting new endeavors, on a sunny Friday in May.

One of those endeavors, is an Etsy shop launching within the week!! Yea!!! Here is a purple bamboo cotton coaster and placemat set for two that I'll be selling shortly on Etsy. 

I plan on selling fine art prints (framed/mounted/just the print), crocheted coasters and placemats, reclaimed wooden coasters, tile coasters, magnets, housewares like bedding, tote bags, napkins as well as things like notebook/ipad covers, crocheted clothing and accessories. Really ambitious I know considering I am the queen of procrastination.  I'll post the link up to my Etsy shop as soon as I've launched it.
