There are so many ideas for the cutest crafts. I want to do them all. I get a great idea and buy the things to make a wonderful craft. Then something happens. Somehow this wonderful, perfect idea turns into clutter to fill my craft closet. Sometimes I start the craft, but not nearly as often do I finish it.
I have to fess up. I have a problem. I don't know if there is a meeting for Craft Starters, but I think I need help. How do I pass up the Amazing deals in a store that I know will make the perfect gift for my kids or craft for my living room or my Mom or friend? Or better yet, how do I get myself to finish the crafts? I made a To Do list of all the projects I want to complete. This included Home Improvements. I couldn't believe all of the crafts I had started or planned on doing that made this list. I have checked off other things, but so far no crafts yet.
My sister & I have been working on the Cutest Most Wonderful Craft Ever. Or so it seems to us. But somehow it still hasn't moved to the next level. We work on it often, but we haven't finished one yet. These are gifts for Christmas for many loved ones. (Women of course) They are stunning. I can envision the finished product, but I am scared to take the next step, so I just start more, because we need MORE. I want to have one of every one that we create, they are so great! I know selfish me. So then we have to make MORE because obviously others will love the same one. I will laugh heartedly if my sister & I end up with a ton of these and we give 5 away. Oh well, no one will know. I am sure you won't tell.
Because my hope is that they won't end up sitting in my craft closet with the rest of the unfinished projects. If only I had a craft room, maybe they would get done. But really that is just an excuse. I will fess up, I am chicken. I am not that crafty and I have a stinking perfectionist streak that makes me afraid I won't love the end product. My Mom wasn't really much of a Crafter, so I didn't learn how to do it at home. At YWs I always hated my crafts bcuz I didn't know how to do them well. Super Saturdays make me itch to start a craft, but those are many of my unfinished, wish I would have done them crafts.
I am hoping that next week after a much needed vacation I will get up the nerve to finish these beauties and make something Absolutely Fantastic for lots of Lovely Ladies.
If not you will find me at the CSA meeting. I will be starting Craft Starters Anonymous if I can't find one anywhere. We will have cute crafty party favors each week and learn how to finish a craft even if it kills us. I am sure it will be a good thing. Because this is probably the thing that drives some people to join AA. I know my husband gets this wild look in his eye every time I open my craft closet. I think he is on the brink. ;)
