Mission Accomplished
Crafting is the best thing ever. I love reading craft blogs, I love buying craft supplies, and I love daydreaming about all of the crafts I want to make. However, I never actually seem to do any crafting. It’s more of an abstract ideal than an applied principle. Now that the semester is over and I’m rolling in free time, I made a vow:

Side note: My entire desk is littered with slightly schizophrenic-looking scraps of paper like this one. For some reason I think that by writing things down, I’ll do them. Not the case! Instead I have collections of to do lists covered in varying amounts of dust.
Side note 2: The pencil scribbles are advanced eBay math where I calculated the amount I should bid on Jade-ite dishes. Stay tuned for the results of that adventure!
It was 7:00 and I still hadn’t made anything yet, and the weight of my unaccomplished day’s objective weighed heavily on my soul. I began digging around in my bead box.

Side note: I have a LOT of beads. Looking at my craft supplies, someone might actually conclude that I bead. Not the case!
Nevertheless, I got my act together and made a pair of earrings to wear tomorrow. It turns out I’ve gotten pretty rusty at wirework (hyuck, hyuck. Kiki’sDemolition.com: come for the lack of crafting, stay for the lackluster puns!). That’s okay. The point is I made something, right?

To check out people who actually do make things, you should browse the menu of the Mid-Century Supper Club. The kitschy recipes they attempt fill me with joy, if not hunger. The Ham and Egg Combo exhibits a fine attention to detail, the Fun Franks demonstrate a novel use of the noble frankfurter, and the Deviled Eggs prove that there is no limit to what you can do with food coloring.
