Being crafty

Ok, I will confess I seriously do not have one crafty bone in my body. Growing up, my sister Julie was always the crafty one, making all sorts of cute things (jewelry, cards, picture frames, etc). And I was okay with that! It was her thing, she was really good at it, and I didnt care that I pretty much sucked at that sort of thing. I had better things to do! (lol). In fact, I probably would have failed junior high home-ec if my mom hadn't helped me with most of my assignments. Thats't how bad I was! And even when I would occasionally try something, I would mess it up terribly or ruin it, and it just wasn't fun for me. It was dang frustrating! So i said to heck with that.

But now, being a boring old stay-at-home momma with not a lot to do has got me thinking about being creative again. And how I want to become more crafty! And I would say the main reason for that is because the majority of girls I am friends with down here in cleveland are incredibly crafty and very talented! And they are always making so many cute things for their kids, homes, baby shower gifts, etc. And I feel so lame compared to them! It seems to come so easy to them, they can just go to the store, get materials, and ta-da, they have made 10 things! lol. I feel like I should be doing something productive with all the free time I have (instead of wasting it all on the internet!). And so this is my new goal for the next 7 months until baby #2 comes, I am going to learn some fun crafty things, and ENJOY them! Wish me luck :)
