Media Fast

We were challenged in Bible Study on Sunday to "make a change that could change our lives forever." Since I have not been working regularly, I have found the temptation to relax on the couch in front of Netflix hard to pass up. Considering that I am married, I am not allowed cannot keep my sewing machine in the living room in front of said TV, and so most days I get only handwork completed. My challenge to myself is to not watch as much television and to concentrate on completing projects.

Yesterday was awesome! I didn't expect how productive I would become! I washed and folded several loads of laundry, organized the new Snapfish order that arrived in the mail, and I sewed!!  I pieced over 20 burp cloths together...
This is a stack of 45. I have been piecing them for months, but never finished them. That changes this week!

And organized them into the correct stacks with tag blankets and simple blankets according to what color thread I want to accent them with!

I hope tomorrow to be able to show them completed.
Here's to progress!

  1. Good luck! We've been without much TV for years. Whenever we go visit family and the TV is on a lot, we wonder how they get much done. I wouldn't get nearly as many crafts done if our TV could do anything except watch the same old VHS movies over and over.

    1. You are so right. Fortunately when my kids were tiny, Sesame Street was the only thing they could watch, and the rest of the time, we were outside! And when I was little, the TV was never in except with what my parents wanted to watch, so we were ALWAYS outside!! But that was 60 years ago!!!
