I seriously can't imagine completing this thing. It's not about being patient. I mean, ok, partly it is, but it's also about the fact that the end result is going to be hideous. Yes, the image at the bottom of the picture is of some kind of crystal bedecked monstrosity that I'm apparently supposed to … Continue reading Oh goody, another weird craft…

The magnets are finished!
Well, the glue dried, but it's been a busy few days so it took me until now to have a minute to clear off the table to have room to reach the little wood blocks that were about to become magnets.

I thought, 'I've been trying all kinds of things in no particular order, why not get some structure going on?' So I joined a 'craft a month' club. This is my first month and I can honestly say … Continue reading Don’t join a club through the mail to figure out a new hobby
