Since I've last blogged I've found my calling. I need a creative outlet. I chose scrapbooking, collected supplies, enjoyed it when I actually did it, but never really wanted to do it. So now I found my thing. I've become an HGTV addict, craft blog-aholic, and I've discovered that I love DIY projects for my home. And making cute little things for my friends, like frames or wreaths. So clearly, I am not and was never a scrapbooker, but i've found what I like to do to unleash my creative side. And in the back of my mind I have this yearning to learn to sew. I see ballard design pillows, drapes. They cost what an organ on the black market would cost, out of my price range. So hopefully I will become good enough at sewing to make things like throw pillows, curtains, and pillow case dresses...we'll see. Right now i'm sanding down a 5$ nightstand and am going to recreate it. I hope it turns out cute. Having a 19 month old son doesn't leave a lot of time, but I really love to work on it when I get the chance. Hopefully next time I blog will be to reveal my first big DIY project.
UPDATE: it will be a little longer, seems there was a hubby-related injury to my little side table. Mental note: buy some wood glue. SIGH!!!
