It was a little thing really. I successfully purged two whole bags of old clothes from my closet and wanted to find some weekend project to celebrate my liberation. So, I went to the craft store.
OK, I live in a world where I barely know what day of the week it is, the actual date retains an elusive mystery. So I found myself at the craft store on 1. Saturday 2. Of a three day weekend 3. before a major decorative holiday season.
I realized I hate the craft store.
First off, since I have the dreaded Allergy to Acrylic there is a certain amount of frustration inevitable. Oh look, this yarn is nice!... oh. And hey this looks like fun!....um. Nifty, and I'm not going to even touch the package. Right. Add to that the hordes of people prepping for the Great Octoberal House Makeover and yeah, I bought $3 worth of fabric to recover a pillow and then spent a long, long time trying to get out of that place.
I find it hard, sometimes, to reconcile my crafty streak with the projects in the big craft stores. Most of them look dated, lifeless and dare I say it, tacky? Thankfully the internet gives me hope. I see people using the same techniques to do things creative, stylish, inspiring.
Now if I just had more time...
Also, making monsters is sooo much more fun than making these booties I'm working on. Which is probably part of the reason they aren't done yet.
