Crafty Girl




My idea of a good time is not partying, it's crafting! Okay, sometimes it's partying too. And with two little ladies keeping me busy at home, its also my outlet and how I get to relax at the end of a full day.
If all goes according to plan, I usually get a break from about 8-10 at night. I watch shows (current fave: Buffy the Vampire Slayer), cheesy girly movies, and craft! Sewing is the easiest...I have a sewing machine but have not yet learned how to use it. I hand sew everything! Here are a couple of my latest creations:
The Owl Pillows. And also,
Owl and Bunny Stuffies! My daughter's favorites. I also quilt. And, with hand sewing, it does take me a long time. But its fun, meditative, and completely obsessive. I love it! I will post some tutorials soon for all you fellow crafty-obsessed folks!



The first post

Where to begin. I have started and scrapped about four blogs before this one. It's tough to share, and tough to put myself out there, so blogging never really clicked. I'm happy with where I am, mighty grateful to be doing what I'm doing, and finally feel I'm in a place to share some little pieces of happiness along the way. Thanks much for stopping by and checking out the Magic Nest!
