So first off, I have to admit...this blogging thing is intimidating!! I originally came up with the idea to blog because I'm wanting to start a local craft group/bee...I thought a blog might be a good way to keep my yet-to-exist group members informed of the updates pertaining to the group, as well as a forum of sorts to communicate with. So, here I am...an idea, but no actual group yet! :)
My husband and I moved to this little rural piece of Heaven a little over a year ago, and we love it! I opened my own small business, we bought our first house, and we celebrated 5 years of marriage this summer! Things feel like they are settling in quite nicely for us, but I can't seem to shake the feeling that I've completely neglected my love of all things crafty this last year! So...I'm taking action! I might be the only one in my craft group so far, but I'm already jumping for joy at the prospect of having some dedicated time to do the things I love! What are those things?....well I'm so glad you asked! :) Here are my favorite crafts in no particular order:
Crochet (I'd call myself intermediate)
Quilting (I love it way more than I am good at it!)
Scrapbooking (I haven't done this in about 5 years, but oh how I used to love it)
Jewelry Making (this is a new obsession for me)
I also love cooking, baking, gardening, canning, classic cars, and watching old movies!
So needless to say, when I make the time, I can certainly keep myself busy! Now it seems that the trick will be to see who'd like to get together and be crafty with me!!!
Hopefully with my next post I'll be able to report some progress...until then.... :)
What our dearest Jackie has failed to mention is that she has taught herself all these wonderful crafts!! And she's very willing at teaching others, too. Can't wait to do some crafts!
ReplyDeleteAwww, Sonja, you're too sweet! Thanks friend! I couldn't have learned without the help of a lot of awesome people, and I only hope to be able to share it with others to keep these awesome traditions going! :)
