Girl Talk Thursday – Craftification!!!

So just by the exclamation marks in the title you can already tell where this is going…

My name is Amber and I am a craftaholic. Yes it’s true. I’m always on the hunt for my next project. But, I can stop anytime I want to. I don’t need saving! That all being typed as I stare at my huge Fire Mountain Gems haul sitting on my dining room table, and the 3…yes, THREE crochet projects sitting on my couch.

I’ve always loved art and crafts. When I was in preschool we had a graduation when it was time for us to move on to kindergarten. Do you know what i got as my graduation present from the school??? A HUGE copy paper box (you know the ones that used to hold the dot matrix printer paper?) full of art and craft supplies.

I come from a prety crafty family on my mom’s side. My Grammy always sewed, painted, did embroidery, painted and crocheted. As a child I always did crafts with my mom and my Grammy. We would make decorations at the holidays, do some painting on rainy days or just draw when we were bored. My uncles were the artists when it came to drawing. AMAZING!

Newdays I have taken on the craft gene and embraced it with love and respect. The crafts I currently love are as follows; crochet, jewelry making, scrapbooking/jpaper crafts and knitting. I love all types of crafts though and will try anything once. If it doesn’t work out I pass the supplies on to someone who could use them.

Currently I am working on a market bag, a blanket and a scarf in crochet. I’m putting together pendulum necklaces and learning to make earrings AND making rune sets out of polymer clay. It’s definitely an exciting time in my crafty world. The crochet projects are gifts and the rest I am thinking of putting in my Etsy shop.

So I guess the answer to the Girl Talk Thursday question is HELL YES I get crafty!!!
