I think I've got a new obsession....(where's the eye rolling emoticon when you need it?!).
A couple of weeks ago I was looking for something in the dreaded "cupboard under the stairs" when I came across a box of blank greetings cards. I used to make quite a lot of cross stitch cards using the cards with a cut out aperture (I'm sure you guys know what I mean) As with most things the novelty wore off and they were all put in a box in the cupboard. Some of them even had bits of cross stitch with them, where they hadn't been finished. Anyway, I thought I would finish off those and see if I could sell them and I've managed to put a few up in an Etsy shop.
While this was going on, I happened across one those shopping channels on Freeview which was having a Craft weekend, and I was sucked into the cardmaking.....I didn't buy anything though (aren't you proud of my self control?) but I was fascinated by the selection of different papers and the demos of how easy it is to make the cards, and the fact that you can get CDs and print the papers yourself. At around the same time my friend and I went out for the afternoon to a Craft Village near Billericay in Essex and I was open mouthed at some of the papercraft stuff available....luckily no one caught me drooling! I still didn't buy anything (still proud of me?.....you won't be!) but with all these thoughts of hand made cards rushing around in my head......I just had to go and buy a load of bits and pieces (hanging my head in shame......Sorry!!)
So I still haven't made any inroads into my UFOs (there's a pattern here isn't there?) and I now have loads more stuff in my stash......There no hope for me......
