We made it through another week! Hooray! What I’ve been working on this week is maintaining a positive attitude. In addition, I am trying to cultivate an “attitude of gratitude,” which sounds like it’s fake. And maybe it is, I don’t know. What I’m trying to do is recognize small things and be grateful for…
Have you ever felt like you just aren’t making any progress with your skills? I think this is a normal occurrence. There comes a point when you know enough that it’s not new anymore, but you’re aren’t exactly an expert either. It’s easy to get stuck in this mindset, so let me tell you how…
We made it through another week, and let me tell you that this week was something else. My dad is currently in the hospital. He’s overall fine, but it’s where he needs to be. It’s looking like he has some heart issues, so until it all gets sorted out, the hospital is where to find…
As it starts to get warmer, it occurred to me that I am kind of a seasonal crafter. Maybe not fully seasonal, but it made me think a little about how that would even work. It makes sense in some ways, for some crafts, but maybe not all of them. For example, if you are…
We’ve made it through another week! Good job and happy Sunday to everyone. I’m working on chores around the house today. First up is laundry, and then the dreaded lawn mowing. Who else really despises mowing? I don’t mind yard work in general, like weeding or mulching. But mowing the grass and weed eating is…
The word boring is rather subjective, and therefore, a “boring” craft is always subjective. In reality, not everyone enjoys every craft, and that’s ok. But what is it that might make someone think that a craft is boring? Repetitive Some crafts are inherently more repetitive than others. Things like beading or diamond painting are variations…
We made it through another week! And if it applies to you, Happy Mother’s Day! Mother’s Day is a difficult day for me. I didn’t have the best relationship with my mother, so a day celebrating mothers brings up difficult feelings. She also passed away a couple of weeks before Mother’s Day several years ago,…
Ever wonder what kind of craft supplies and tools that other crafters use? Especially if you don’t know someone else who does the same craft, it can be hard to know what other people are using. Craft stores are becoming a rare breed, so it’s difficult to go in and browse sometimes. I’m going to…
We made it through another week! Pat yourself on the back, as sometimes that is a pretty big accomplishment in its own right. This past week was my birthday. I’m of the age where you don’t like to tell people how old you’re going to be, so birthdays aren’t as big of a deal as…
It’s a nice little rainy day here in the mountains, and I thought it would be nice to share my rainy day thoughts with you. To me, rainy days are super cozy. I just want to curl up in a chair with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate and daydream. Too bad actual…
