Life has felt exceptionally hard this year. As a result, I’ve felt the need to infuse my life with fun and joy! After watching a YouTube I like create 30 inventions in 30 days, it gave me an idea of ways of spending my summer off… Create a Self-Directed Summer Camp.
The plan is fairly simple. Each day, I will create something from the following categories and interests. Some of things listed here, I have ether made before (like fabric design) and want to do more or I have an interest in it (like leather craft)
- Polymer Clay Jewelry
- Fabric design (screen print, block printing, dyeing, etc)
- Pyrography
- Video/Film
- Painting
- Sewing
- Collage
- Houseware design
- Jewelry design
- 10.Paper embroidery
- Music (make a beat)
- 12.Cook a new recipe
- 13.Poetry
- 14.Floral design
- 15.Leather craft
- 16.Yard design(something for the yard)
Whatever it is, I have to complete it (unless it is a multi day project)and I have to share it, either on social media or on my website. If I am on the road or travel for any reason, I will take a travel art kit with me.
Additionally, I will either walk, ride my bike or yoga everyday and do strength training 2-3 times a week. I will also read for at least 20 minutes a day.
I will strive to eat well and make sure I am getting enough sleep and limiting my time on social media outside of sharing my daily.
I will also go on weekly “field trips,” weekly adventures to places I’ve never been to or haven’t been to in a long time nearby.
I will also make weekly time to connect with friends locally and take monthly trips to places that require a train.
If there are new things I add, I will come back to this post to update.
I’m very excited about this! What summer fun plans to do you have?
