I have a resolution for March, and I'm calling it March Moxie. I was driving home from Hobby Lobby the other day--I had stocked up on some things I needed in the craft area--and I was thinking of projects that needed to be done. I come up with a lot of my ideas when doing mundane things like driving. Anyway, a list began to grow in my head of project that I had left undone, or had hoped to start, or that could be accomplished with the plethora of supplies in my workspace. It was a HUGE list. And I thought, what in the world am I doing buying MORE stuff?!?
So I came up with a plan. I am going to try to make it through the whole month of March without buying anything new. I have so much fabric, so many colors of thread, so many would-be projects and products that are just waiting to be used. I realize that there are certain supplies that I might run out of in the middle of a commission project, and I'll allow those, but I think I might even be able to avoid that.
So what am I going to be doing this month if I'm not shopping? Well, here's my list:
I'm going to try to be extra productive this month, using my stash of supplies as inspiration. I also want to further stock my Etsy Shop, which I'm excited about. I've been a little burnt out on the Ebay front. I'll keep putting a couple custom outfits on there each month, but I'd like to branch into some one-of-a-kind offerings, and some smaller, more accessible items. 
This is a lot to achieve in a month, but then, I won't be spending hours wondering Joann's, will I? Oh! I almost forgot the amendment to the rule! I am going to allow myself one thrifting trip each week, just in case I really need something. But I'm going to limit my spending to $15 each trip. I'll keep my blog up to date on my progress throughout the month, just in case anyone out there in cyber space in interested.
Well, here goes nothin'!
(Ethan's laughing. He doesn't think I have it in me.)
