A different adventure.

It rains in Portland, Oregon. It rains a lot. It doesn't necessarily stop me from going anywhere and doing anything, but it's hard to go hike, walk, bike with a 3 month old in the rain. Sometimes we try to find other things to do, even though they might be indoors.

I've decided that I'm embarking on a different kind of adventure this weekend. I am going to TRY to be crafty. Keyword being "try" in that sentence. I am not a craft, DIY-type person. At all. Not even a little. I wish that I were, I could make all kinds of cute stuff if I had any ounce of craftiness in me. The only kind of craftiness I have is the kind that pulls EPIC pranks on people when they least expect it.

This weekend, I am putting forth an effort to do something myself and make something with my own hands. 

I'm going to make artwork for our office. And by "make artwork," I mean that I'll be pulling fabric across canvas frames. That can't be too hard, right? RIGHT?! So I'll be heading to a fabric store on the east side of town to pick out 4 different fabric patterns to make a (hopefully) cool collage of different squares. I'm pretty excited, actually! 

Canvas frames? Check. Fabric? Check. Staple gun? Check. Once I have all of those things in order, I'll be ready. And hopefully I won't go stapling my hand to the wood. Wish me luck! I'll be sure to post before and after pictures when I'm finished!

Are you crafty? How did you learn?
