The First Craft

by 17 Comments

(of many to come!)

So, here I am ready to post my first craft for the world to see. I’ll admit, I’m a little nervous.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Craft Pants bought me a decorative star. I was so excited because I had wanted one for a long time. I had a lot of ideas for that little star brewing up in my mind. And finally, one was all mine.

Once it was in my hands, I was terrified to do anything to it. I was so worried that I was going to mess up that precious star.

After debating in my mind for a few days what I wanted to do with that beloved star, I decided to throw all my previous ideas out the window and just get to work!

Here is what I came up with:

I’m very happy with how it came out. I just wish that it matched my decor. Dang.

I think that a star decorated that way would be perfect for a baby nursery. It would give the room such a great feel, don’t you think?

So, tell me. Are you ever afraid to start crafting, or am I just crazy?

Goooooal!

I think you’re supposed to say that once you actually reach your goal. Which, I definitely haven’t. Oops.

See, I’m an amature crafter. I barely know how to sew, and I just started getting down and dirty (so they say) in the wonderful world of crafting. So, I’ve decided to make it a goal to get better.

In order to get better, I’ve decided to make presents for everyone on Mr. Craft Pants’ side of the family for Christmas. I’m very excited about this challenge. It’ll save money and it’ll help me build some serious skill (I hope).

Are ya with me?
I’ll be sure to post lots of pictures along the way.

How The Blog Got Her Name

Lately, I have been crafting up a storm. Really. You should see my house. It is a mess with furniture being painted in one corner, quiet books being sewn in another, etc. etc…. It’s crazy, I tell you!

Really, I have been crafting my pants off! Hence, the name.

Anyway, this blog was created to sort of “showcase” my crafts, as well as highlight those crafts that I want to do in the near future. Mmm. I get butterflies just thinking of all of my future projects! I hope you enjoy them, too.
