Crafty, Me?

I took a few opportunities this past year to try my hand at crafting.  I'm pretty good when it comes to following along, but not so good at pulling things out of nowhere, so these were great opportunities for me to feel artsy because they were 'guided' art projects - I didn't have to think, which I find very relaxing.

Here I tried painting a desert scene - it was okay.....I think I'm too "Type A" for painting.

Had so much fun making this shabby chic flag!  It comes in a kit, but you don't have to tell anyone - they can think you really are crafty!  I have it hanging in my office at work. 

I hosted a sign party.  Here is one of two wood signs that I made and have them hanging next to my travel magnet boards (I collect magnets on my travels) - You can see the boards behind me.

I do like to cook, that's kinda crafty, right?  Here I am making pupusas with my mom's friend Loli, she's from El Salvador - I mean, you have to shape those things just right!  

Here's to more crafting in 2018!
