Okay so I am officially crafty!!! I have recently become addicted to Pinterest. I love it! It makes me feel like I am really creative, when in reality I am just pinning other peoples ideas. I was thinking how lame it is that I pin all these ideas and projects and never do any of them. I decided to change that. I jumped into the deep end of the pool and went to the store and bought myself a sewing machine. Not that I know how to sew... but I decided I was going to figure it out.
I belong to a book club with three of friends so I decided that for Christmas I would make them bags and put some our 2012 book club selections in it. Let me remind you that I have never sewn ANYTHING. EVER. So I am pretty proud of myself. The first hurdle was going to Joann's. I was so lost. There was so much material and it was so crowded. I was totally overwhelmed. I wandered around trying to find what I thought I needed. I probably should have started with a more simple project because there have been MANY trips back to Joann's. The first bag was a little rough and took me forever to finish, but once I had a plan and knew what I was doing, it was so fun. I'm actually really sad that they are done, because I had a really good time making them. I want to make some more. Hopefully I'll find more ways to be crafty :)
