Where do we go and what do we do? I go to work in an office… Sometimes I wonder how people have so much time for extracurricular activities, hobbies, and such. I have many things that I’m interested in and I have a lot of what I call “toys” to play with, but I just can’t seem to find the time. I love a good creative process. Art, crafts, yea arts and crafts. I have a craft room, which, I guess if I were more sophisticated, I would call it my studio. But, alas, I’m not sophisticated, so I just refer to it as my craft room.
I started out way back when, pretty much as early as I can remember, I loved crafty things. I made weird little things and took them to school. I sold my crafts anywhere from 10, 20, 25 cents each… just enough to get something from the store, candy, gum, whatever. Yea, back then, candy was cheap… tootsie rolls, Bazooka bubble gum, tootsie pops. Cheap and awesome candy! Anyhoo…. I was always scouring garage sales for trinkets that could be crafted with and boy oh boy was it a great day when we took our semi annual trip to Chicago and I got to go to a craft store called Blackstone’s where I could buy Aleene’s Tacky Glue! What a day that was!! Now I can hop on Amazon, EBay, or Etsy and find just about anything under the sun to craft with! I’d like to take you on a journey with me to get my “craft room” up and humming!
I’ve been working on this room a bit more actively for the last 24 months or so. Rearranging, cleaning, purging. I have designated areas for certain crafts. I'll be the first to admit, I have a hard time purging and not saving EVERYTHING that "might" someday come in handy ;) Thus, I have A LOT of crafty items, and just plain STUFF! I've started to gather items that I feel I will never use again, literally haven't touched these items for years since we moved into this house... if someone else can get some use out of it, more power to them and go CREATE! Anyhoo, that is a work in progress and something that I will probably be working on for the next 10 years until I retire, and then I'll probably be working on this project until I leave this rock called earth 😆
Soooo, anyway, I'll try to keep up with posting. They might be short blips of something weird that happened in my day or just something I found amusing. Later Gators!
Pigeon or statue, make a choice!
