So, I'm finally taking the plunge...I'm starting a blog about my crafting adventures as a mother.
Here's my background. I've always enjoyed art. As a child I remember how proud I was of the clay scultpures I made for my parents in elementary school. I took a ceramic class in high school and fell in love. In college I spent countless hours in the studio throwing, sculpting, glazing. While I got a degree in psychology, my passion was art. Any elective courses that could be fulfilled by an art class, was. I took art history, I, II, and III and enjoyed them. After college I began designing websites and doing graphic design in my free time. I worked at custom frame shops...a job I loved because I not only saw new art pieces everyday, but as a framer I chopped, built, and assembled the final product. Today, I'm just a mother of two that takes almost every chance I get to do something crafty.
So why call my blog "Crafty With A Side Of Crazy"? Because it's a pretty fair description of me. When I told my husband what I was going to name my blog, he just laughed and said, "Yeah". I'm one of those people that sees something in a store, on a website, or in a magazine and says, "I could make that". And then I do. Now, it may not look as nice as the original source of inspiration, but it's made by me. So, I'd consider myself crafty. Now, for the crazy. I get a little obsessed with my art/craft projects. When I start something, I want to finish it...now! I stay up late, knowing I have to get up early with the kids the next morning. I spend hours working on projects that most people would just go buy at the store. That's why I consider myself crafty with a side of crazy.
