There is no end to my crafter's ADD. Just as soon as I begin to feel comfortable with one thing, I come across something else that I must try. Please refer to the quote I just added to the sidebar. Describes how I feel to a T. I feel like I have to be learning constantly. Too bad I didn't have this feeling in high school. If I see something that I don't know how to do, I want to learn. It feels almost insatiable. And I don't want to do in later, I want to do it NOW! Is this normal or am I out of my mind? Maybe once I put all of these pieces together, I am going to come up with something great. In the meantime, I am going to follow the insanity and hope it leads me somewhere. Life is an adventure after all!
I am desperate to start embroidering. I mean desperate. Mom, where are you when I need you? Do you know how much I could accomplish with both your expertise AND childcare abilities?! I "met" Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching a few weeks ago while perusing the Internet looking for info on embroidery. I came across a tutorial by her for beginner embroidery students. Her story is so cool like so many other contemporary crafters. I love these young, hip people reinventing things that are commonly thought of as grandmotherly. Her designs are amazing and fun and I am so excited to give it a go! Just ordered her craft pad and it can't possibly come soon enough!
