Lately, I have been feeling a bit crafty! Yes, I am wanting to do so many projects yet I do not finish any of them. It kinda sucks really! My mom and I started making jewelry and I do have to say, our first attempt at it was pretty damn good.
I guess I am going to make the jewelry making activity a way to spend quality time with my mother. It was nice and I enjoyed spending the time with her. I will post pictures of the jewelry that we made on my site. The pair of earnings has gotten lots of compliments so far, which gives me the confidence to keep working at it.
I have also started knitting and crocheting which is something I am using to keep my mind busy. It is actually extremely relaxing and I hope to get good enough to make something; such as a blanket. My brother is having a baby, so I probably make him a baby blanket once I get the hang of it. Then again by the time I finish it, my niece or nephew would already be in college. Teehee..
I started making the quilt that I wanted to make my brother and I have only gotten one square done. Between looking for a job, doing all these projects, and studying... lol I don't know what to start and what to finish. Then not to mention, the urge to paint, but I don't have a real idea of what to paint. I get in my moods once in a while where I have to express myself. I have been working on one painting that a friend of mine gave me an idea for, but It is not expressive enough. I am actually considering getting a big canvas for it. Might actually make a great art piece to hand down to later generations. I know you probably wanting to know what it is about, but I am not gonna reveal that information just yet. It is going to be a secret until it is finished. I have already sketched up some ideas regarding it.
These have been my hobbies and as you can tell, I am really into crafts and making things with my hands. I hope that my hobbies can help me express myself artistically and possibly allow me to make money at it too. Lets see where this takes me....
