Why blog? Why not?!

I am an artist and crafter through and through. I usually do not sleep very much because I cannot seem to convince my brain that it is time to rest. I am usually doodling in my "design journal" or getting up out of bed, pulling out my craft bins and sitting on the floor to experiment with whatever I have conjured up in my head at 2 in the morning...

I am a compulsive crafter!


I love cooking, painting, party planning, photography, jewelry making, interior decorating, planting and who knows what other hobby I will pick up tomorrow. I fantasize about parties that haven't been planned, rooms that haven't been built, paintings that have no where to be hung and cakes that have no reason to be baked.

I am a compulsive crafter!

Why blog? Why not?!


I firmly believe in making mostly everything myself whenever possible. I find it challenging, fun and always adds a personal touch to anything I am doing. I do not often have the money to spend on fancy craft supplies. So, throughout the years I have come to realize that I do not need to spend a ton of money to create something personal and visually appealing. What I make is how I express myself so I always make sure I am doing the best I can (and can afford) without compromising the integrity of the final product. I am often shocked by what I was able to create with a little ingenuity.

Of course I run into some snags. No matter how great the final product is, there is always something I probably would’ve done differently. This is where the idea to write a blog came from. I am bringing you a little bit of this and a little bit of that. All of the my experiences, tips and blunders to save you time and money!
