How to BE in 2019

January 4, 2019 Emily Waechtler
Knit collage daisy chain yarn in my yarn stash

Don't you just love a fresh start?! This year I opted out of my normal goal setting "to do" list and instead wrote a list of "to be's" for myself.  It was a list mostly made up of adjectives, a lot of which already describe me, but that I want to intentionally turn up the volume.  

Obviously, creativity was near the top of the list, as was peace, simplicity, faith, self-discipline, and generosity.  I think by focusing on being these adjectives, I will be extra aware of what isn't fitting into this intentional lifestyle, things that can creep up without me realizing, things like fear, doubt, and laziness.  


This year it's all about who I want to BE, not what I want to DO.

Because I want to BE a more creative person, I'm already exploding with new project ideas, things to make, patterns to design and I can't wait to share them with you!

Obviously one of these new projects is going to involve this amazing Daisy Chain yarn from Knit Collage. Does it not just scream CREATIVITY!?

How do you like to mentally prepare for a new year? Leave me a comment, I’d love to know!

Sewing Studio Tour

Come on upstairs.  This is where I sew, where the family hangs out, and where the light pours in every afternoon.  I call it my studio.  My family calls it the living room.  Whatever.

Mark just made me this beautiful custom sewing desk with extra storage space, and a table top for ironing and cutting out patterns.  I've never been this spoiled before.  The desk is tall enough that I can stand to sew, or I can sit at my chair, depending on what feels best at the moment.  All my supplies are super handy without being in the way.  And I actually prefer to have my workspace in the middle of where the family hangs out, keeps me part of the clan.

Photo credits to Ruby for taking the beautiful photo of my desk and sewing machine (second photo from the top)!  Thanks Ruby!

What Life Looked Like Last Month

August was sure a busy month for us!  The girls participated in our local Children's Craft fair, and Ruby made some gorgeous feathers (among other things) and even shared her pointers on how to paint a feather as a guest post.  We made sure to get in the water as often as we could, mostly at our favorite surf spot, The Pit.  A fun family reunion up in Oregon meant lots of plane rides.  And I am finding myself reaching for the yarn and knitting needles, must mean fall is right around the corner.  For more day to day pictures of what we're doing, come find me on Instagram as @emily_bluecorduroy.

I&rsquo;m always so pleasantly surprised at how well these zipper bags sell! Lately I&rsquo;ve been day dreaming about making some larger beach bags, because I&rsquo;m really ready for some sunny beach days, how about you?

The sun has finally come back to us after two full weeks of the most rain we&rsquo;ve seen in a loooong time. So much flooding so much chaos, mixed with amazing rainbows and the promise of a spring full of wildflowers.
