So here I am starting a blog on making things. This is supposed to be a fun project, and I thoroughly enjoy making things, but let me be clear from the get-go... I am not a crafty-DIY-kinda girl. I want to be. I try to be. But I'm not.
Maybe you are like me. Maybe you enjoy making things for your home, kids, spouse, or whoever else but despite your heartfelt effort your final project often bares little resemblance to the example you followed. Guess what, it's ok.
I've learned that sometimes projects don't go as planned, but ultimately they are successful because they bring me a sense of accomplishment and usually bring a smile to the recipient's face. And hey, if the project is a complete and total failure, it at least provides a chuckle because if I can't laugh at myself then I probably shouldn't take on DIY projects at all.
So, come along with me. Make some stuff that works, make some stuff that doesn't. Most of all have fun making stuff because, to me, that is the ultimate purpose of DIY projects--to have some fun!
