how to succeed at crafting

I’ve come to realise in the last couple of days that the reason I suck so badly at crafting is because I rush - I get an idea in my head, and like a bull in a china shop I just jump right in and expect it to be right first-go. It’s kind-of funny, really, because I don’t bake the same way (although I’m sometimes caught short). With this month being all about pinterest, and it only being fifty days to Christmas, I set out this morning to get all my project ingredients in one place.

These are just the items I need for my projects I’ll be sharing here, but it’s been such a successful idea (only one extra trip to bunnings required) that I’m going to spend the afternoon working on project ideas for my blog, and create one shopping list.

How is pinterest inspiring you this holiday season?

  1. This is a really good idea. I might do that same! I often go gun-ho into a project without planning it out much as well. I think I usually do that because of my severe lack of time, and impatience! Might be time to turn over a new leaf!
