Getting Back to Crafting

I haven't done any of my normal crafts in a while. I am feeling out of touch. I keep seeing all the beautiful tatted pieces and I want my shuttle back in my hand. I need more thread because I have gotten used to the feel of using thread smaller than a size 10. I want to loom but I really want a specific loom to help me with my designs. I need to get back on my sewing machine because pillow ideas keep coming to me.

I just feel lost without all the things that have brought me joy. I did manage to make a few pairs of earrings though. I just need to add the finishing touches. 2014 I have a few things to accomplish and I am mapping out those things. I need to get my coding certification, find a new job, and make time to craft. That along with being mom is going to require discipline and making my schedules out along with using them. I don't make resolutions but I am deciding to make a plan. 

I did manage this past weekend to make a few items. Beadaholique had a video on making Christmas Tree earrings out of Artistic Wire so I made a pair. I also made some earrings out of buttons. I need to finish them but I think they look cool. Maybe I will do an interview with my fellow crafters and see how they are handling things. Now there is an idea.
