Too Many Ideas

Boy oh boy. I get way too many ideas and love way too many things. I am already thinking about how I can do something special for awareness. I am plotting and planning and hopefully I will be able to get what is in my head out how I would like it. I think that is the biggest challenge in crafting. Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the mind of one who crafts.

Seeing things in so many different ways is a gift and a curse. A gift because it means my mind never stops thinking of something new but a curse because trying to get it together can drive me crazy. I wouldn't trade it for the world though. I love the challenge of making something and seeing how someone else will like it.

I need my own crafting space but alas that is not to be at the moment. I can dream though. I can even imagine what it will look like and how much space I will have. There also lies another dilemma because I need my own writing space as well and that needs to be a separate room from my crafting space. LOL. I just need the whole house to myself. Well I have a long way to go before that happens.

Oh well in the mean time I will keep dreaming and making my crafts in my space.

My Addictions

I am thankful that my addictions don't require a twelve step program but then again they may. Lol. I am working on my current project using my Mirrix Loom. I must say I am glad I purchased this loom. I bought the 16" Big Sister  which is the mid-sized loom and I love it. I am working on my first big project and this loom holds it perfectly.

The first time I saw this loom I began to drool. I love its versatility. I can do project that takes up the whole loom or I can do two to three smaller projects. I brought the one with the shedding device which I am looking forward to using when I finish this project. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The project I am working on is called Purple Day of the Dead Girl by CajunDesigns. As I watch it come together I am truly fascinated. Just thinking that we can put together using so many different types of material.

I have also discovered another addiction. Card making and color in stamps. I having fun with that as well and I like that I can personalize things. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

This is a picture of one of the stamps I am coloring.

One thing for sure is when my kids go their own way I will always have something to do.
