My mom and I are putting wreaths up on etsy.com. We love crafting and we do it fairly often, but we always end up with a lot of stuff laying around afterwards. It seems like we make Christmas wreaths every year though, and after receiving some great comments from friends, we decided to see if they would sell online. So far, we haven’t sold anything from the website. So here’s the link, go buy some wreaths http://www.etsy.com/people/MainAttraction.
Every time I look at the etsy website, it makes me want to grab a paintbrush or some glue and scissors and just start crafting. I can’t remember the last time I painted anything, and it’s actually pretty sad. I love painting and crafting and I feel as though something is missing a little bit. I did purchase a canvas recently that will be perfect for the blank wall above my bed. I even penciled a flower onto it that I want to paint. But it sits in the corner of my room, and the only time I touch it is to move it out of the way. I don't have my painting supplies at my delmartment though. My big easel is at my parents house with all my oil paints, so that might be part of the reason I haven’t started this painting yet. The other part is time, between Boyfriend, horse rescue Saturdays and softball on Tuesdays, I have very little of it left.
The tough thing though is that I love all these time-consuming things too much to cut back on any of them. I think I’ll need to carve out some time a couple days a week to just paint. So I’ve asked for a desk-top easel for Christmas… if they even make those things. I think that’s the only way I will be able to paint in my delmartment. There’s NO WAY that big easel is going to fit into my tiny apartment bedroom… it hardly fits into my bedroom at my parents’ house. Every time I move it around, I knock the popcorn off the ceiling and scratch the walls. In fact, I don’t think I can even get it out of the house. I assembled it IN the bedroom. I think it’s stuck in there.
Anyway, I'll get this painting started soon and hopefully it will restart the fire I had for painting. Maybe I can put those up on etsy someday too.
