This whole kick started with an innocent post by my cousin on Facebook. She posted a neat idea for organization from a website called Pinterest. After a couple of days, I decided that I wanted to see what this website was all about. So I looked it up online and found a Internet based pin board for ideas and interests. I figured that this may be something that I could use for making my life a bit more organized. So I emailed for an invitation and when it came I signed right up!
At first I basically was searching the boards all over the place. Never really staying on one for too long. Then I hit the DIY & Crafts board. Well I was hooked. All the little things that I wanted to buy for around the house could be made! And all the tutorials made it look like I could do it...and easily! Now, usually my crafts never turn out the way I want. This is due largely to lack of patience on my side. Not waiting for things to dry fully, or not reading directions are a couple of examples. So I had pretty much given up on the idea of being crafty. But, since those days I had changed, largely due to Warhammer 40K. I had started painting the tiny models and due to my OCD I needed them to be prefect. This usually led to me spending on average 3 hours per model. If that doesn't teach you patience I don't know what will! I then decided to choose a simple project to test the waters. I will discuss that in my next post.
I do have another blog I share with my hubby, but since it is mostly nerd based, I figured I would start another blog separately from ours to show my domestic side. This doesn't mean I won't link to that one when my crafts take a nerdy turn!
