| See? I've been busy! |
That's right folks. Last year I embarked on my greatest project yet, and it left me with very little energy for anything else. I slept through most of my pregnancy, and did very few projects, focusing mostly on my wedding and baby shower. I'll have to post about those retroactively someday soon.
My little bundle of giggles is now 3 months old, and I've found myself getting back in the crafting game, slowly but surely. I've completed a few small projects, eased myself back into things, building up to bigger and bigger projects, trying to find my new footing, and learning that things that were once quick and easy may now take longer than expected to complete. Something else gets my full attention now. I'm appreciating these last bits of time that my daughter is immobile, as I notice the box of pins, tubes of glue, pairs of scissors, and hot glue guns laying out across the table: my innocent crafting will soon become a danger doom zone. Gone are the days of just letting the pins drop and then running a magnet across the floor when the project is done, or leaving projects out on the dining room table for days until they are complete. I will have to change my entire methods of approach, figure out how to be a parent and a crafter at the same time, and learn how to be a tidy creator in order to keep the danger at a minimum.
It's cool, she's totally worth it.
