Since my friend has gotten me obsessed with knitting she's also gotten me on a website for knitters called Ravelry. I really enjoy it because not only is it a fabulous place to talk to knitters you can also find patterns both free and for sale, yarn for sale as well as having a nice way to organize your projects, share your progress and just about anything else you own relating to knitting!
Anyways I found a group on this site called Cash for Stash. The idea is you come up with a list of activities that you want to accomplish in your life and when you perform one of these activities you reward yourself with a bit of money to buy more yarn for your stash. I thought this was a fabulous idea not just for a yarn stash but for other things as well. So now I think I would like to start a fun stash. Money that I can use for all those fun things in life I don't usually let myself buy like things for my computer, something fabulous from Etsy, a new book, movie or CD, etc. I'd like to put up a counter on the blog to let you know how the fund is growing but haven't been able to figure that out quite yet. For now I'm using one of my countless cute notebooks (did I mention I'm a stationary junkie?) We'll see if I actually keep this up. When I try things like this they really only tend to last a few weeks before I forget about them. *shrug*
As to the activities I've started a small list and many of them have to do with my business, things like rewarding myself for taking photographs of my work, completing designs for a commission and making a sale on Etsy. I think this might be a great way to motivate myself in the future. What would you pay yourself to do?
