Hello, this is the first time I have ever tried to make a blog, so who know how it will turn out lol. My name Crystal and I am wife/mom/college student/crafter. I have three awesome kids and a pretty perfect (for me) husband, also we have three cats; we are a pretty happy family.
I have always loved to make crafts since I was young. One of my favorite memories growing up was when my mom and I made a bunch of Light House Wind Chimes out of clay pots, I think they turned out pretty amazing. These days I love making anything from Christmas stalkings, blankets, mini crossbows, and jewelry, the list could go on for a while.
Last term I took my first ever ceramics class, and I became hooked, it was so much fun and my projects made some great Christmas gifts. This last Christmas we only gifted items that I had made, and everybody was very happy. Of course everyone had a favorite, which was my heating pads, some people ended up buying several, and I had made over 100 by the time christmas came! It was an amazing feeling and it made me want to keep making more things. This blog will be about my road down the crafting path, trying out new things, and perfecting the old. I hope whoever reads this will enjoy and maybe even be inspired to try out some new crafts!
