The Beginnings of Craftiness

I am not crafty...
At all.
Then I discovered Pinterest.
 I must have had a dormant creative gene after all...
It just needed a kick start.

So, I decided to make my friend's Christmas present this year...
Right.
Hmm...after perusing Pinterest I found the perfect idea...complete with a tutorial!!
BINGO!

I have seen these bird's nest necklaces around and have always liked them.
My friend just had her third adorable red-head this summer so I thought, huh, I'd do the bird's nest necklace and use stones the color of her kiddos birthstones!
Brilliant.

SO--off to Hobby Lobby I go to buy up the supplies.
Two hours later and much wear and tear to the jewelry aisle due to my pacing and second guessing...
I headed home to get my craft on.

As you can see from above...I did it!
It way miraculously easy and I felt surprisingly talented when I finished.

Baby steps right?

And--if you're reading this...welcome to my blog.  You can ride along with me as I venture into the world of craftiness and domestication...something my husband would likely agree I could use!

Blessings!
