As a wannabe crafter

I really really want to be a crafter. With marriage and having a child, my creative side suddenly sprang forth. I have accumulated a stash of pins, zips, fabrics, felt, beads and crafting tools to prepare for my journey. Buying them one at a time greatly reduces the feeling of "costliness", I put the overall cost in between rm345 - rm400.

I have been experimenting here and there with hand sewing a variety of things. Some looked okay to me but most looked not ok. Yes, I think some are ugly. But then when I put them aside where I can't see them and look at them back after a week, they seem to look ok.

Yesterday I tried handsewing a wallet. But I looked weird and as I tried to finish it at 2 am, I decided that I better sleep than doing something which begins to feel like a failure. Maybe tomorow I'll look at it again. Meanwhile I need to reorganize my craft supplies. They are all over the place arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I have shared with you that I am crafty once in awhile. While I was hand sewing last night I remembered my single years spent doing nothing. I rarely crafted those days and people don't even know that I can actually draw things. Now where is my pen and paper.
