Welcome to a view of my life: the crafty side. So today, like any other Monday, I got home from work, refused to touch anything until a deep cleansing, promptly took a shower and relaxed for a little while. After dinner I decided I needed to search for more ideas of things I needed to make. You never know when you might need to make a gift or two! (or when you will need something to fill some idle {too much thinking} time.) So whilst searching the blogging world for the craftiness.. I though I might try my hand and this insanity. I make enough things with my time, that man.. I should be able to share this with the bloggers out there that might be interested in my wackiness.
Lately I've been really into the cards. I look up new ideas of interesting designs and roll with it. One of my latest designs that I've been playing around with is this (the directions are here: crazy card tutorial) :
Man that thing was time consuming.. but now I've made three of them. One for my sister's graduation, one for my good friend's wedding, and another that I just stare at sometimes to help cheer myself up when times are hard. Because seriously. Awesomeness.
I've recently (as in the last month or so) fallen deeply in love with pinterest. Its become this little alcove to hide away all the little crafts that I see online that I so badly want to attempt some day (and not clog up my bookmarks section on my browser!). I love that when I've feeling particularly stumped on what kind of card to make for someone, I can fall back on my ideas saved there! Its a wonderful escape too! When my brain is all full of things that make me not so happy, I fall back on pinterest and start thinking about the different things I can make that will turn that frown upside-down!
After a week like last week, when I felt like I had no time for any sort of down time, I'm looking forward to this week of craftiness and such. And sleep.. that is an important one.
Later Gators.
