Beginning the journey

My name is Nicole, and I am an addict.

I have an insane addiction to anything craft related; yarn, paper, scissors, ribbon, stamps, buttons, special pens, fabric, thread, etc. I've recently come to realize that it is fairly common for people like myself to become extremely excited about a new project, buy all the necessary materials, and somehow in the middle of completing the project, stumble upon another new and just as exciting project. Ad nauseam. Due to this fact I currently have no less than 10 started projects ranging from a queen sized crocheted blanket of the American Flag to some ideas and beginnings of poetic verses. 

My plan is to share my various projects with the world. Perhaps more realistically, this blog (which really is a project in itself...do you see the problem now?) will likely only be read by my family and a few close friends.  My hope is that this will give me some kind of accountability and motivation to finish all of my previously started works and take on new projects which branch out of my comfort zone. I cannot promise that I will impress you with my skill, or dazzle you with my words; but I do promise to share my progress and procrastination, my successes and failures and my old creations and new ideas.

I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I already know I will. 

"Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself." ~ Alan Alda
