Randoms 8/5!

Now that I'm not pregnant and can craft again I'm having a hard time finding something to get into. I feel like I'm not that good at anything so when I go look at different crafts I tend to get more discouraged than excited. Bleeh.

You have a tiny human being selfishly zapping all your resources right now. Don't be harsh- you're still in survival mode.

It's always nice to see you around- what type of craft are you thinking about right now?

ladyannibal, what kinds of crafts have you done in the past? What did you enjoy about them? What did you struggle with about them? What would you like to get out of crafting?

Keep in mind too that just because you're not automatically "good" at something doesn't mean you can't become good at it. DH keeps telling me it takes a huge number of hours of practice to be considered an expert at something. (Sorry, I don't remember exactly how many hours it is but it's a lot.) Try things. If you don't like it, move on and try something else.

Plus crafting isn't perfect! I had to tell my mom this line twenty times. It will never look the same twice and it shouldn't.

I love easy to do crafts. I feel so accomplished. I mean, I feel SUPER accomplished when I finish a quilt, with all the love and HOURS that go into it, but at the same time doing something that doesn't take very long also gives me a big sense of accomplishment! I try to put small projects in between the big ones. It makes it seem like I've accomplished more than I have.

On that note..... off to start a quilt! I think I've done enough small projects lately :-) Wish me luck!
