Finding your craft

Photo from Giver's Log

My mom has told me that when she was in her twenties and thirties, she tried every craft available. She did latch-hook rugs, lampwicking, macrame, counted-cross stitch, and sewing. She learned how to knit, crochet, and decoupage. She has books on doll-making, jewelry-making, and card-making. You name the craft: she has tried it.
I know many other women like this. They walk up and down the aisles at J0-Ann, looking at all the options, picking up a package of brads here, sliding their fingers along the rainbow aisle of taffeta, picking up a craft book and flipping through the pages. And walking out of the store with empty hands.
Do you want to learn a craft? Are your itching fingers fighting a losing battle with your doubting heart? If so, maybe my blog will help. I will try to post a few times a week, sharing my craft projects, my ideas, my successes and failures.
And in the meantime, happy crafting.
