preeety crafty

well, following crafty pants!, i’m on the bandwagon. and for this very special ocasion, i’m including a new page to the blog. so, if you wanna keep up with it, just follow the link upstairs…
i now seat myself in my comfy chair, listening to the rolling stones as hubby makes some burgers sizzle on the skillet, and feeling little monster’s weight on my thigh – i want my lap!, he says – and his hands on my face, playing with his mommy’s nose waiting for her to quit reading those silly blogs and play the pirate game with him, accompanied by some eye scrubbing – so adorable. he got up early to go to school today, so he’s pretty wiped out by now. sigh.
had a bad case of insomnia today, which led me to a bones marathon, preceded by october road’s season finale and grey’s somewhat drab latest episode (is it just me, or is it grey’s is slumpin’?) followed by gilmore girls, with some hefty lor-luke action. finally!!!
all of that to say i passed out around 1 pm and slept through most of the day, managing to do nothing of my last few hours. i hate it when that happens… i used to go days at a time without sleep a few months ago, so just over 30 hours isn’t much for me, but… i still don’t like it.
i was in a really bad shape till a few months ago, for about a year and a half. in a way, crafting helped a lot, and so did blogging. i was never a very popular person, seeing as i prefer books and art supplies over people pretty much all the time, but spending this long confined home was ever worse. and i was a pretty active person before that, so when i spent nearly a year doing nothing more then reading cheap paperbacks – that was the only thing i could get myself to do that didn’t include house work (and very little of it, mind you) – i really cracked. and i missed creating.
after i quit art school, i didn’t want to come near any sort of art supply. this new year’s we spent at my in-laws. hubby’s mom was crocheting a rug, and it got me itching, so i ended up at a craft shop buying heaps of cotton thread to make a couch throw (which i’m still working on – i hate cotton thread, as it turns out), and some fabric for a crochet bag, which has now turned into lining for the granny bag. i did put those aside for about a month, seeing as how i’m deathly scared of sewing, as perceived by the mess i made of the fabric, and how much i hate cotton thread because it makes my arms go to mush. i don’t know how i came upon some craft blogs, and ended up with a lot of acrylic and acrylic-mix yarn in my hands, making great things for my up-till-then-comatose-ego. and created my very own blog, which has kept me in the right path…
so, thanks to you all. really. i don’t know where i’d be if it weren’t for you guys out there, and it’s a scary thought.
off to feed my little monster now.
