Tattered and timeworn treasures of the heart....

I.....think.....I.......have..............

"Craft-hoard-itis"

Crafthoarditis:
to gather, purchase, store and stash all manner of items;
to stack, bag, box, jar, can, or closet these items;
to dream, touch, ponder, obsess,
and sometimes create with these items;
and.....to wonder "WHY do I have SO MANY items??????"



Ladies....does this sound like you?

Do your craft rooms, extra bedrooms, closets
and basements look like this???

are you running out of.....
OR already ran out of room?????

*****************

Some of the items we gather are beautiful...........

some...you wonder "why do I keep picking more up???"

then....there are the items you start...
but do not completely finish.....

you spend afternoons making more of these items.......

like Scented and crinkled seam binding
(sure smells yummy though)

you bid, watch, wager,
and then WIN
more items like these (below) on Ebay!!!!
(good deal though, all for around $20)

You spend whole afternoons at thrift shops
and buy MORE of these items
because they are so old and beautiful
(and the price is right hehe)

you gather more........

and more.....


your basket is FULL ALREADY Chris......


Then.......you go to flea markets
and get really super deals on things....


Oh, girls......

you spend hours looking....
and touching...
and arranging......
these things......

you see creations others have made
and think
"I can do that too"



But, I think blogging is an outlet for us with this "affliction"...

We can post pictures and tell others
about this "condition" that we have....

Because you know that someone will understand.....

And, you are not alone......

~~Hugs to all you beautiful, and creative ladies out there!!~~

Chris

  7. It's okay for creative people to have this disease. I remember reading once that an artist is only as good as their resources. Looks like you have the resources - have fun with it!
