Today (the 31st) is my birthday and I turned 35. I can’t believe how fast the past five years have gone, it seems like a few months ago that I was joking around about turning 30 and here I am, 35! I don’t freak out over getting older, it’s something that happens, everyone does it. I don’t have to like it, I’d be happy being 25 forever, but I can’t stop it so I may as well try to enjoy it. Honestly, my early twenties were pretty fun, my mid and late twenties sucked ass, my early thirties were ok, I have a feeling my mid-thirties are going to be much better. Five years ago I never would have pictured myself where I am today, in school, especially culinary school, and really trying to put my life back together.
As for this little blog, honestly, I feel like a craft blog is limiting and I don’t feel right expanding the focus of it here. I don’t really knit much anymore, I don’t have the extra money these days, mainly what I do revolves around school and reading and watching movies and just doing stuff with my friends. I’m getting back into fashion (which I think is from wearing my uniform all the time) and playing around with my hair and makeup. And cooking, lots of cooking. So I’m thinking about shuttering this blog and starting a new one. We’ll see, I’m going to try to make up my mind here in a few weeks. I’m too busy right now.
I went to a Halloween party Saturday but I don’t wear costumes (no money!) but I did wear a dress. I do own more than jeans and t-shirts and copious amounts of sweaters. Here I’m wearing a black button up shirt dress that I bought at Wal-Mart last year, it’s cotton and has a fitted top and a full circle skirt bottom, a pink cotton cardigan that I knit years and years ago, black tights and black flats. I need a better way to take pictures of myself than the full length mirror propped up against my desk. I’ll figure something out.
Happy Halloween!
Happy birthday! Life is like a good wine, I think. Mine has certainly improved with age! I’ve got 10 years on you and I can tell you, I would never go back to 20s! No money doesn’t necessarily mean no crafting. There are some fabulous refashioners blogging out there. Check out the Renegade Seamstress for inspiration. http://chicenvelopements.wordpress.com/
Blogging (and sewing) is my sanity and my best friend at times! Love how you’ve teamed a black shirt button dress with a pink cardi! I love to see black with a pop of colour. Lots of lovely wishes. Ooobop!
Happy Halloween : ). Wow, you went short with your hair, cute. Ha, my birtday was on the 27th. Wait till you get to be in your 50′s like I am, geesh. That’s when you can start ranting about being old. Your just beginning. I do people all day who are anywhere from 20 something to in their late 80′s and its amazing to me how the people in their 30′s are always talking about how old they are. I thought about how it was in my 30′s. That’s the time when were having to make all these decisions about who, what and how were going to be for the rest of ourlives. So with those kind of challenges I can see why some people at that age feel old or the stress of getting way more responsibility heeped on their sholders. So now that I’m in my 50′s and have lived enought history so that I can begin to turn around and look back and start to solve the mystery – I say to you enjoy this exciting time of your life, nuture yourself and HAPPY BIRTHDAY : )
