Hello, I have started this blog because when people ask me if I have a blog I usually tell them, "Yeah, but it's all crafty-shmafty stuff, nothing about me or my family really" which is true. I have occasionally mentioned my hubby, and if I have made something for a family member they will get a mention. And the only time I really mention me is to say, "Looky what I made now!" :) So I started this blog to share thoughts and happenings of my life that are not totally craft related.
However, this may be easier said than done for me, because as mentioned in the title of this post I am a craft-o-holic! It's true! I LOVE all things crafty! and I'm not just talking about painting little decorative painted objects to decorate my house with. I do love those, but I'm not so great with a paintbrush. The crafting world is WAY bigger than that! And I feel this need to try it all!!! I'm not kidding! If you saw my craft room (which is on my crafty-shmafty blog) you'd know I'm so not kidding! And to prove it I'll give you an over view list of the types of crafting I've been into lately. I like to: sew, knit, crochet, spin yarn (yes on a spinning wheel, like in sleeping beauty), stamp (anything that will stay still long enough for me to stamp it), scrapbook, make cards, weave, hand dye yarn, and spinning fiber, card batts for spinning, quilt, cross stitch, cut vinyl lettering, design my own scrapbook embellishments, create hair accessories for kids, and make cutesy home decore. While these are all wholesome, productive activities the problem with being a craft addict is that there are never enough hours in a day to complete all the fun craftiness that I plan. So, rather than, um... clean my house, or cook for the 7 people that live in it I'd much rather craft something! So, this has caused my house to be messier than I like it, and dinners are later than the children would like them to be. This sometimes leads to a lot more whining in my house than I would like there to be.
Thus I have come to the conclusion that I must force myself to become more orderly! That doesn't sound too hard does it? Well it IS! The crafts keep getting in the way LOL!! So, another reason that I have started this blog is because I'm hoping to chronicle not only the actual goings-on in my life, but also the progression towards having an orderly craft filled life. You'll notice I have said nothing of giving up my crafts! Even though I sometimes feel as though the fabric stash is trying to take over my life (it's fighting with the fiber, yarn, and paper), I do like my crafts, and would be completely bored (once the house is completely clean, and orderly) without them.
Well it's lunch time, and after lunch is nap time (my favorite part of the day). So, until next time happy crafting!
