I’m a crafty gal. Not crafty as in scrapbooking. I just like making cool things. And pretty things. I’m especially inspired if I see something at a store or boutique (overpriced) and think, “I could make that!” I love the challenge of re-creation. I have no original ideas of my own, mind you. Let’s just say I find my inspiration through others a lot of the time. I love that creative learning process. I love the satisfaction of making something. I love it!
I can feel in my bones the embroidery bug awakening. It’s such a cute medium. I gave India an embroidery kit last Christmas and I might just have to steal it back. Look at these darling embroidery patterns I found from a talented lady here in Austin (there are a lot of great crafters in Austin. I’m hoping to go to the Makerfaire tomorrow since everyone who is anyone will be there.)
Cute! I learned to embroider as a kiddo, but haven’t done much with it since–you may be inspiring me!
Blessings!
I am not crafty. The only kinds of crafts I enjoy are ones with practical value. Like making soap. Or baking. But not things that are just for admiring. I get very little joy out of creating, especially if I have to think up the creation myself. That’s one thing that you got more of from mom than I did, for sure.
