Want want want

I think I have too many hobbies. It all started with jewellery, and that was about 4 years ago. Now I knit (badly), crochet (even worse), am trying to play the violin (haven't got around to fitting the new strings yet so "play" is a bit of an overstatement), am learning Japanese (even though I have forgotten most of what I spent a year learning last year) and now am sewing. It used to be tough enough to just fit in making jewellery every day. But with all these new things I'm finding myself with an unfinished project here there and everywhere. I think it's time to take things back to basics, concentrating on one thing at a time, or allocating certain days to certain things. My life doesn't seem to have enough hours spare.

Crafting isn't the only thing that needs to go back to basics. It's probably one of the lowest cost hobbies you could find, especially when you get something out of the other end that you can actually use or enjoy - a finished product. But there's something else I love that saps up a lot of my resources. And that thing is called cute. If it's cute I can't resist. But as I pointed out in my last post, I'm starting to appreciate things less - I'm starting to miss that buzz of childhood when you have to save your £2 a week pocket money to buy something you'll really love, and at Christmas or on a birthday when you'd get something to really treasure for years. I'd like to recapture that, so here's my mission. I've seen a journal I'd really love to have, with the ultimate for cute on the cover.
This is a journal by Meomi which ticks all the boxes. If you know me at all you'd know I love books. Especially hard back books. With lines preferably but still, this book is beyond cute. It's only £7.65 but I think I should take the time to evaluate whether or not I'll still love and want this. So I'm not allowed to buy it until next pay day, that's 13th February. Agh the willpower will have to be strong.
