What do I miss most? Crafting

Every Sunday it is the same routine for me. I get up before everyone else, take my Fossamax, read through google reader and then drink my coffee.

As I journey through this place called Graduate School, I have had to make many sacrifices. Time with my family, extra money that could have been earned, peace of mind, hobbies, reading are just the tip of the iceberg. Today, as I was reading through some craft blogs, I realized that this was what I miss the most. Being able to sit down and make something.

I don't remember the last time that I was able to sit down and make a scrapbook page. I would truly love to refashion some of the clothes that are too big for me now that I have lost some weight. My crafting was always my down time and my creative outlet. Now that I don't have that, I feel truly depressed most of the time.

I have many ideas bookmarked and tagged right now. I totally enjoy seeing what other people have been doing, and reading about their experiences but, I am totally jealous!! That's probably not a good thing to admit is it? I keep reminding myself - "Self, you can do what ever you want after July1" Does anyone know how many more days that is???

I guess for now, blogging will just have to be my creative outlet.
