I've been fighting the urge to blog. I kept thinking it would become a drain on my livelihood -- yet another thing to keep updating. But I finally caved; I needed an place to showcase my craft projects (in process and completed).
I got inspired this past week, while on vacation in Sedona. We decided to stop at a couple of art stores and I was utterly amazed. I understand art is subjective but I realized then - there are obviously “professional” artists and then it falls to amateurs. If you can only imagine the things people are trying to pawn off as "art" you would be amazed. I'm not saying I'm a fabulous artist but I think I have some skills.
When we got home, I started to re-evaluate my own skills and how I'm really good about starting projects but never good about finishing them. I'm the first to admit, I'm COMPULSIVE so I like variety and I jump from one thing to the next. It's a vicious cycle that's been around all my life. For that reason, I've decided to start talking about my crafting projects - you my friends - will hold me accountable for finishing them!
We'll see what comes about; I'm optimistic to make it work.
About Me
- Ambitious Crafter
- Orange County, California
- I've always been a overly ambitious; some might even call it “compulsive” when it comes to craft projects. Whether it involves cooking, knitting, crocheting, sewing, and gardening -- you name it. I have a real determination to keep busy. I hope you enjoy reading about my ambitious endeavors (sometimes they’re a success, other times its an absolute failure)!

I can't wait to see some of your projects. Maybe that will motivate me to start and finish some of my own :-) I keep trying to convince Olga to advertise some of her work...she is truly a gifted craft artist too just like yourself. Good luck! Post pictures up soon, I want to see what you're working on!
