May has been a great month so far. My birthday was at the beginning of the month and It was fabulous. My sister made a fuss ( that was nice), as well as a scooby doo cake. Had a great dinner with family and friends and fabulous presents.
Since my last post I have discovered the online blog o sphere of crafty women. It is amazing what some people can do with nothing but a little bit of something and some time. I owe these bloggers a lot, I have not felt like I belonged to an arts community since I left school. I have been stuck for initiative and motivation and then I discovered Dollar Store Crafts, then the flood gates opened for all the different craft blogs. It was like a switch was turned on. My sister had got me started by providing my with some jewelry making tools and beads which was just what I needed. Then to discover this magical world of makers of all things crafty, that was it. I am motivated.
My next step is to figure out what I like to make. You see I have a problem, I know how to do many, many, many different things. I paint, Knit, Crochet, Sew ( in self defense and as long as it is a straight line, lol), needlework, plastic canvas, sculpt ( only a beginner). glass etching, wreath making, jewelry making, scrapbooking, stamping, photography, I have an understanding of candle making and soap making as well, their is more I just can't think of it right now. You can see my problem, too much info, not enough out put and no one really to give stuff to, what is a girl to do?
I like puzzles and crafting to me is a puzzle. You have a need, come up with plan, gather supplies and put it together. That is what I have been up to since last I posted.
I am still working on the crochet baby blanket I had to add more squares and am almost finished. When I am done I will pop it in the mail and send it to its new home, till then ta, ta :)
