Long Time, No Blog

It has been too long since the last time I blogged, and I apologize for being MIA. I feel this post will be all over the place {this blog already is, as well as my brain}. But I have been feeling extremely creative as of, the last couple of hours. I've been wanting to be creative the past few days, but I haven't had the motivation. Until now.

Well, the snow is now upon us, or at least on me here in New Philly. The 60 degree weather a couple of days ago seriously got my hopes up, it's practically a blizzard out there now!
I really crave warm spring weather now that the snow is back.

I have already daydreamed about what I want to do when the warmer months come.
I'd like to get my fishing license. Buy a camouflage hat. Buy a decent pair of sunglasses. Buy cowboy boots in the near future as well.

But then that got me thinking, my creative side suddenly kicked in and has been kicked into over-drive. I have been making a list of the artistic things I would like to try and/ or get back into.

I haven't painted since I moved here. I've had painting ideas in my head for months.
But now, it's more than painting (like with the acrylics I had been using before). Now I want to teach myself how to use watercolor paints. I want to play with my charcoal pencils some more. I also want to start making things like: jewelry {simple necklaces}, headbands.

As some of you might know I want to lose a bit of weight and change my eating habits completely. When I am able, and comfortable to, I want to start wearing dresses. Buy floral-y tops, paired with jeans (eventually jean shorts) and cowboy boots.
Cowboy boots, thats another thing. I want a nice pair, and pair it with a lot of outfits. I want a more country girl style, at least every now and then.

I will probably do some thrift store shopping. I can always rely on finding interesting things there. I want to be more thrifty. That's another form of creativity.

I also want to someday learn how to sew with a sewing machine. To make my own clothes, just simple stuff. Dresses and tops mostly.

Either way, I will most likely find myself in Jo-Ann Fabrics in the not so distant future.
I'm sure I will update you with all the things I have started to do, all the projects I complete. Maybe you will find a post about me opening an etsy shop.
You'd be the first to hear about it, I'm sure.

I might sell some of my photography prints on there. I photograph mostly nature.
Like my fish. OH, yes, I have goldfish now. Me and my honey got together and made it a little project. I love them. I have pictures but have difficulties uploading, but I will share when I get it figured out!

I have been wanting a fish for the past few weeks. But I will write more about them in another post.

I also need to get back into my book reviews. I'm such a slacker! Haha.
Maybe I will create a blog for my photography, a blog for my book reviews, and keep this one as personal. Or just lump it together to keep it interesting.

Anyway, I love feedback, whenever I get it.
It's always appreciated.

Until next time,

Much love.

<3 Britt.
