Crafty Craft A Lot

Posted in: my daily life | No Comments »

My Bloglines shows how my tastes in blogs have changed over the past year.  I have them broken down by category.  ”My Girls” are blogs by females I like to read.  I feel like they’re my friends.  There is Marseeah and LindseyMaryKelly and many others.  Through them, I’ve learned about buying homesnerve blocks, and insomnia.  I do life with them through their blogs.

I also have “Earning Crowns” (spiritual) and ”Make Me More Interesting” (local news, photography, political opinion, etc.).  “Make Me Smarter” is now defunct, as I felt guilty for not reading the blogs.  Ever.  I would have 400 entries and then just click on them to make the guilt go away.  I just deleted the category.  I would rather not have a guilt complex over what I’m not reading.  There are no celebrity or fitness blogs.  I recently broke that addiction.  I can’t tell you how hard that is.  Seriously, comparable to quitting smoking.  And now when I do find something on CNN.com or MSNBC, I am shocked by how immature and irrelevant they are.  Seriously, dancers with goggles on?  Creating your own clothing line?  Drinking when you have a known addiction?  The word that comes to mind is dumbass (no, that was neverdictionary.com’s word of the day).

But, the category that gets the most action is “Craft Craft a Lot.”  I track numerous blogs who are mostly devoted to crafting.  Stationary, design, sewing, knitting, quilting, painting, drawing, illustration, cooking, farming, renovations.  The list goes on and on.  I’m a crafting fiend right now.  I can’t get enough of it.  It’s mostly Kelli’s fault.  She inspired me to try anything.  Tuesday night?  I covered Fuze bottle lids with scrap emerald green silk.  We use the bottles to store shells and other knick knacks.  I mounted and prepared paper artwork for hanging.  I then started on the tags for the tag swap I signend up for.  Last night?  I made a journal for inspirational thoughts (If you want one, email me, I’ll make you one perfectmoderation at gmail dot com).  I also created cards for the invitations I’m hoping to start creating (Again, email if you want a test batch).  And then, as if that weren’t enough, I designed more on the tags for the tag swap.

Seriously.  I’m a maniac.  I can’t get enough of it.  Thankfully, the Husband understands the compulsion to create.  There is only encouragement.

So what are you creating?  If you would like to keep up with my projects, I have a page on my personal website.  Email me and I’ll send you the link.
