I will begin this new site with a tale of involvement. It is a tale of others, and peer pressure, and being weak. I suppose I could look on the positive side and say I was reaching out to achieve my full potential. Of course..... I'm having FUN!
It began with a tale of daughter I-Needa. That is only a pet name I use. I began noticing that she often begins sentences with the term 'I need a...." It was when I began noticing this about her, that I also began noticing she had coined that phrase from me... her mother. Yes, it's true. I began hearing that same phrase coming out of my own mouth at an alarming rate. Yes, I-Needa had become her mother.
I-Needa became an addicted crafter some years ago. She started with crocheting. The needles fly and she can finish an afghan in nothing flat. Seriously. After making several afghans, I finally decided to ask her to show me. I wasn't a complete novice to this type of needle work. I'd knitted years earlier, which is probably how I-Needa had come to learn a few words which would best be left out of anyone's vocabulary. However, I wondered if I would have to unlearn some knitting habits to change to crocheting. Actually, I did.
I-Needa next became engrossed in the world of scrapbooks. She soon became a consultant for Creative Memories. While she loved doing that, her job as a teacher in the public schools took most of her time. She soon found it was too demanding to try to do consultant work, so she gave that part up. However, she continues to make scrapbooks and loves it. Of course, I followed right along and now love to make scrapbooks.
I-Needa's next adventure took her into card making with Stampin Up. She also added jewelry making. I benefited greatly from jewelry making and received lots of earrings for special occasions. No complaints there!!
It looked for awhile as if I were safe from her latest crafting crazes, but that was not to be. I was destined to become my daughter.
It was at this point that another crazed crafter entered the scene.... Crafting Ida!
... to be continued.
