Let's craft!

I’m getting really into crafts these days.  Making something new out of something old, used, out of materials found about my apartment. Maybe I’m just a hoarder, but I love to have interesting things around me. Nate and I want a pack rat home, a place where our friends can just idly gaze around and see lots of different objects that interest or inspire them.  When I’m crafting I feel my creative imagination turn back on; its a bit rusty in these graduate school years of critical rigor.





These crafts sometimes feel silly in the face of the graduate work I do, but sometimes a girl just needs to make a pink paper flower for her stubborn hibiscus plant.
