I’d been looking around at the same walls for longer than I care to think about; the urge to try new things has pushed me into technological areas that I had previously left untouched. Blogging.

This new venture is to spare my loved ones the messages of “look what I can do” or which one do you like better? I’d been utilizing some basic materials around my home to create all manner of projects, this is followed by annoying everyone in the tri-state area with what I had made. It seemed like a good time to dip my toes into sharing that bit of myself with the general public, to spare my friendships and loved ones the constant bombardment of my creative endeavors.

My supercharged-coffee fueled mind comes up with an idea and the need to create overwhelms my life until I’ve done something about it, it’s an addiction and I’m all for it.

I recently needed a new purse as my old one was falling apart, bits of leather trailing behind me as I walked through the house and parking lots, it was a problem. I decided to get a cheap canvas bag and customize it as a craft project. The plan was to attach buttons, doodle, and maybe apply a vintage patch or two. In reality, I started doodling and realized I could use the nail polish I had (back from my stint as a girly girl) to make my doodles pop. Three days of stinking up the house resulted in a purse that brings a smile to my face when I look at it, it may not be the most adult purse ever, but it is fun. What’s the point of life if it can’t be a little fun now and then?
