Scitzoid Crafter
So remember how I mentioned that I had lapsed with my crocheting, my knitting, my Russian, and my costuming(not mentioned, but true)? Sure you do. Well now I am making people out of paperclips during work to amuse myself. There's an old wirecutter that has been at the front desk for ages and I have found it invaluable. Also, I have taken Russian back up(kinda, sorta, mostly.) and I'm cross-stitching a pillow. Not that I've dropped the papier mache, per se, because there's still a bowl of glue and water and soggy newspaper sitting on my floor. It's just waiting for the wind to change.
And it's not that I have any particular talent in any of this, but I don't have not talent either. I usually fall somewhere between mediocre and decent. It's just that I'm not a "take it slow" sort of person. I tend to decide what I want to do(ie: cross-stitching a pillow), start, make a hideous mess of thread about halfway through the first letter, rip it out, and begin again for good. It looks pretty so far. Messy on closer inspection though, since I'm not even very sure where the line is between "cross-stitch" and just "trying to make letters with thread".
Anywho, here's hoping something sticks. -- G 'Bye, Sonya -- . ( 12.5.05 ) .
