Hooked

I'm not talking about crocheting, because I don't crochet. But lately I've been totally hooked on design & crafts blogs. I spent so much time reading different blogs that it feels great & terrible at the same time.

I got so inspired by all the very talented artists out there & I keep wishing I'm determined enough to just work on all the crafts that I've been *thinking about doing*. Good gracious! It's almost Spring now & I haven't even finished the ruffle scarve that I've started back in October of last year!

My ever-growing list of crafts that I would like to work on includes, first & foremost, the ruffle scarve, a blanket for Genghis (actually there're 2 underway, one that I just started knitting, & another one that I've cut out all the different elements that's awaiting me to sew together), an afghan for the living room, a felted necklace, decoupaging the closet doors in Genghis' room, creating some artwork for Genghis' room (yes, we're forever re-deocorating our house!), a sweater for Gary, a knitted bag for myself...

It's not too difficult to imagine that between reading these wonderful crafters blogs that I recently discovered & adore and whining about my pathetic attitude towards the whole thing, I, of course, have no time to work on anything. The prospect of me becoming a full-time, professional craftster is getting more and more unrealistic...

Meanwhile, amidst my pitiful self and the new world of crafting, allow me to share with you some of my new-found discovery:
