Two of my personal attributes make a deadly combination: my type-A go, go, go attitude with my love for crafting. I have so many craft projects going on at one time at my place that I'm not sure I can even remember them all.In one night, I started by making pot holders (random) to making a fleece quilt (not a small undertaking). And, the night before that, I made Henry a Whrrl coaster with my new craft cutting machine, got up-to-date on my scrap booking and even knocked out some home made thank you cards. Remember, it's only Tuesday! Recently, I made my mom a window covering, a quilt for my dad out of running t-shirts and bought a book about painting. I also tried candle making (which I do not recommend unless you want nasty smelling strangely discolored candles) and jewelry making. I think I have craft A.D.D.
Enter Henry and Cari's Condo
- Entryway - cluttered with new box from Overstock with colored vinyl (rad)
- Kitchen - need to put away cake decorating utensils (note to others, cake decorating supplies to NOT work on homemade pizzas, don't ask...)
- Kitchen table - I'm not sure there is a table under all these fleece square I'm sewing together to make a mega fleece quilt
- Office - Silhouette craft cutting machine taking up Henry's side of the desk (sorry Henry, I'll TRY to have it gone before you get home)
- (numbered list interrupted because I had to call my mom about dimensions for sewing a table runner for the cabin)
- Bedroom - tubs of fabric and quilt batting exploding all over the room - blame it on indoor hurricane?
Shoot, why am I wasting this time writing about my mess and not actually cleaning it up? To add to the mess, I'm NOT going to clean up, I am actually on my way to Michael's and the fabric store.(Back from Michaels and fabric store and have decided next undertaking is making drapery panels)
Am I turning into one of those crazy old craft obsessive people? If ANYONE gets a crocheted vest with animal applique for Christmas, please stage an intervention.
