30 Days of Brave Challenge
I have decided to try the 30 days of brave challenge during the month of May.
I have been trying to build my blog and eventually start my business but year after year my plans get pushed back and ignored. This year I have decided to be brave and push myself to move forward with the process. And so I am participating in the 30 Days of Brave Challenge.
On day one of the challenge I had to find a physical object to remind me of the challenge daily. I chose a slightly too small bracelet (the one you see in the image above). It is just tight enough to keep me on track without being uncomfortable.
Today is day two: I am committed. One of my choices today was to make a public announcement of my commitment to the challenge. I will post my progress throughout the month. So far I have started writing up my business plan and I am learning how to create better images for my blog. I can't wait to see where this month and this challenge will take me. Feel free to follow along on the blog or join me in the challenge!

Monthly Check-in: April 2017
Another month has passed us by, so it's time for another monthly check-in.
Most Popular Blog Post
No blog posts this past month, so yeah... no popular posts.
I've been spending a lot of time revising my posting schedule, thinking about what I want the 10th year of my blog to be (can you believe this blog recently turned 9 years old? More about that in a later post), researching and trying to make this blog better than ever before.
Most Popular Instagram Photo
This month, with 18 likes, this picture of bubbles on the beach was my most popular photo.
Creative Challenges and Link-ups I Participated in
#drawriotdaily - I worked on this for part of the month, then gave up. I don't really like the prompts. I'll keep looking for my challenge.
April Focus Projects
I had some crafty goals for the month but fell behind on most of them. I did crochet a messy bun hat for a friend's birthday and I am working on a new free pattern, both of which will be on the blog soon.
Year-long Goals Progress
1. Use my sewing machine - nope
2. Knit/Crochet some sweaters - nope
3. Finish the Groovyghan - nope
4. Complete a drawing challenge - hmmmm.... still looking for the right one
5. Etsy shop - nope
