I have been thinking about my final project and how I want it to look. I am not techy, nor do I explore much with tech, especially if it is out of my comfort zone. I want to try and use iMovie to create a documentation of all my running! I watched this video on an iMovie tutorial for beginners, and I found it easy to follow. I have a few ideas of how I want the final project to look. 1) I am thinking of doing a montage of my running throughout the next several weeks, or 2) I was thinking of doing a documentary type of my journey. Not sure how I will end up doing it….I could run the blog like a daily documentary and then have the final project the montage. Stay tuned to see how it all plays out!

From Couch to 5K!!!!
Ok! So originally I was going to do a sewing project, however the cost of material was WAY more money than I wanted to spend! So I will be doing a learning to run a 5K. I do have a treadmill, and I currently walk, but I am not a runner, nor do I like running. But I am going to give it a try! This is going to be a BIG challenge for me as I am completely out of shape! It might be quite amusing to watch. 
Garden On!
Three years ago, my partner and I purchased our first home. And over the last three years we have been consumed with learning how, and what it means, to be a homeowner. Year after year, we put a lot of focus on the house itself and we left the yard for the next year. Soon enough, three years had went by and our poor backyard, while nice enough, was lacking.
So what a perfect time to learn how to garden! Prior to the start of this course, I had purchased two raised garden beds, but I suspect if I didn’t have this class pushing me I wouldn’t have bother to build them until next year (and that optimistic). But now, I have too!
I have some relatively ambitious goals, but I’m an all in type of person so my plan (hopefully) will looking like this:
- Front Yard:
- Plant creeping junipers in the front garden beds.
- Backyard:
- Grow and cultivate dill weed, parsley, chives, romaine lettuce, and Roma tomatoes.
- Plant hostas in south facing garden bed.
- Plant a hydrangeas behind firepit.
- Plant perennials in north facing garden bed.
That is all for now, but I am sure as the weeks wear on I will find more things to plant and grow. Now the next steps are to buy everything and plant! Wish me, and all my new plants, luck!
What’s SEWING on?
For my learning project I will be making a rag quilt with a sewing machine! I do own a sewing machine that is nicely tucked in a corner still waiting to be used! So why not now? In high school I took Home Economics, and I learned the basics of sewing. I know how to thread a sewing machine and can do the bare minimum. Years ago for Christmas, my mom bought me a sewing machine that hasn’t really left the box since I got it! So I plan on using it and putting it to good use over the next 6 weeks! My mother in law has made many quilts and is an avid quilter, so I will be able to have support if I need. I watched some videos on youtube, and I found this one. These will be the instructions I will follow. I watch a variety of videos and I really like how this one has the 10 inch squares, as some of them only had 6 or 7 inch squares and I thought the rag quilt looked too compacted.
