Making Pretty Things


I have about a dozen posts languishing in Word, waiting for witty how-tos or clearer pictures.

Instead of being disciplined and actually getting them posted, I've moved on to yet more crafty callings.

Culling through the pages at www.oneprettything.com has kept me occupied in these days of not having a job and lacking funds for the crafting I suddenly have ample time for. I'm on page 57 and have bookmarked about 20 crafts. I have five in the works for easy Valentine's gifts using my ribbon scrap stash.

Crafting may not save my sanity or find me a job (Can I put "Makes something from nothing" as a skill?)- but it certainly is entertaining discovering exactly what I can and cannot do.


Hint: I cannot sew in a straight line to save my life. Luckily I'm just crafty enough to cover the mistakes with ruffles. :)
