Craft ADD

I have long suffered from what I consider to be craft ADD--the tendency to dabble in a wide variety of craft related activities (not all of which I am very good at), starting one project while another sits partially completed. I have kind of given in to those urges though, because to ignore them does little good I have found. So when I feel the call of the gocco machine, off to gocco I go. When the button cranking machine pulls me away, so be it. And when the sewing machine beckons my name, well, who am I to ignore it?
I embellished these little baby onesies for my friend who had a little baby girl on April Fool's Day. I consider myself to be a novice sewer, as you can see. They are still pretty cute though, I think. I used a combination of sewing and fusing some stitch-witchery.

So.... anyone else suffer from Craft ADD? I can't be the only one!

  1. I don't have the luxury to be ADD. I'm lucky to get any project time at all. (Got a newborn)... but I have to say, what a FABULOUS baby gift! They are adorable. Your friend is going to have one stylish lil pumpkin.

  3. CRAFT ADD! Finally a diagnosis. I can't stay on one thing for even a couple of days. And the worst part of it, I want all the machines, tools, doo dads, and supplies required to make EVERYTHING!!! Let's see. Right now I want a kiln for glass, metal clay and pottery. I want jeweler supplies. I want a tumbler. I want a really nice photography setup. I want it all, and I can do it all. Yeah. Now I know what is wrong with me. Do you know of a cure? Thanks for stopping by and following me. I'll follow you too. And those glass vessels your boyfriend makes, Stunning!!!

  4. Danielle, if I hear of a cure I will let you know!

    Funny enough, I found your blog after I read a comment you made on another blog, where you said you were "Jack of all trades but master of none," and I thought--holy cow, I think that's me!

    Perhaps we should start a support group!

  6. Those are so cute! I'm a one-trick pony with a lack of space, so I do not suffer your versatility.
