Genius hour so far has been going well. I choose Bedroom DIY for my area.  Throughout the course I hope to gain new skills like painting, sewing, and mainly more creativity. I don’t want to be relying on buying things from stores when I can make it myself and add my own touches to them. A few things I’ve learned already are just by adding a few details and touches something can look completely different. I also learned that you can take something old that you already have and turn it into something else. I’m thinking of going through my things for old stuff that we don’t use and using it as some materials.

Finding resources has been very easy. There’s websites for DIY projects all over the internet and countless tutorials on YouTube. A few of the websites are http://www.marthastewart.com/ , http://www.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-MichaelsCanada-Site/default/Home-Show , and http://www.pinterest.com/all/diy_crafts/.  I’m still curious as to how difficult some projects will be and if I’ll be able to complete them.  But I’m hoping to start off with simple things and then work my way into projects with more difficulty. I think it will be easier for me and I can get the hang of it better. My vision for the final product will be a PowerPoint where I can show all the things I made. With before and after pictures and some step by step ones I want to explain how I made them and the difficulty level and I’m thinking I can compare them to some similar things that they sell in stores.
