I grew up in a home that did not know the word craft. I have no creative blood running through me. I am now on a mission from craftless to craftsy. Here I will chronicle my mission learning new crafts with no help aside from books and the internet. All the while keeping my almost 2 year old happy. Any successful items I will post for sale in my etsy store. This should prove interesting and most likely disastrous. Wish me luck!

Where has the time gone?
Yikes, I have had about 0 time to do any craftyness. I did get my zipper in my coin purse. I have one more to put a zipper in. I would like to get that done this weekend. My goal for next week is to make one more coin purse. A perfect one that I can list on etsy. Then I would like to start my market bag. I am really excited about it. I am waiting on word for some breathable waterproof/resistant material to put inside of it as a liner.

Zipper madness
Well I have finished knitting and felting my coin purse. After having to start over about 10 times it only took about 3 days of knitting to complete the project. Of course it helped that we were on vacation in the mountains and I didnt have much to do. I will post pics of the progress. For now I am in a zipper catastrophe. I flunked the sewing part of my home-ec class in middle school and am now regretting it. I cant figure out how to hand sew the zipper into the purse. Now I have actually BROKE and TORE the zipper so I will have to tear it out and but a new one to try and sew in. I have searched for tutorial videos to no avail. I shall be devastated if I am not able to do this last step in my coin purse!
