1. Tell us a little about you and your blog. I'm the wife of a student that will graduate next month, looking forward to move on from student life and wish I could as easily move on from the student loans. We have one son who is 2 years old. I have a little etsy shop, mainly selling children's items. I started my blog in 2007 to show my mom my projects since I lived on the other side of the country. For over a year I think she was the only one that looked at it. It's just a little blog of my projects and ideas, and I try to share instructions and tutorials on things I think others may want to duplicate. It's probably mainly sewing, but there are some crafts mixed in with painting, furniture makeovers, random stuff, etc. For a while I've been in a phase using freezer paper stencils with fabric paint on everything.
- How and when did you start crafting? My mom is very creative very talented, from a young age she'd include us in her projects and I think just watching her create so much from wedding gowns to stained glass windows, and even furniture, the passion for creating and projects rubbed off
- How often do you craft? daily pretty much. I do my best to restrict it to during naps or after my son's asleep at night. There are very few nights when all the chores are done that I'm not working on a project. If I'm not able to actually work on one, I am usually sketching ideas.
- Where do you get your inspiration? anywhere really: other blogs, nature, magazines, a piece of fabric, childhood memories, wrapping paper, a cool color of spray paint, junk that needs a new life
- What is your favorite medium to work in? I get bored of one area, so I don't know that I have a favorite. I try to switch it up between painting, crafty (paper/glue/ribbon/etc), woodworking. But most of the time I am sewing.
- What is your guilty pleasure? watching chick flicks
- What makes you smile? brownies, fresh flowers, appreciation
- What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)? lay on the grass outside in warm weather and do nothing at all
