Hello #2

Welcome:
Well, let's see now. Unfortunately for me, insomniacs always get to things first. (A bit like the early bird and the worm.) Therefore, Trina has already introduced to you the subject of who we are. Leaving me with what we are. (Which between you and me seems a rather dry subject in comparison.) So, I won't dwell on it overly long.
We are two people... well sorry that's not very descriptive. Let's try again. We are two very quarky and imaginative neighbors who have a heart for creating crafty-artsy things, drinking tea, searching amongst thrift stores for hidden treasures and wearing/collecting fabulous eyeware.
(I think I'm stuck with the "Who" rather than the "What") So, lets have another go at this whole blog writing thing.
We make stuff... sorry once again, that's rather vague... Here we are. We make things based on what we like, who we are, where we live, how we... I don't know... how we ride our bikes while knitting up-side down and cooking cupcakes on Hawthorn.
Sorry, what I'm trying to articulate is what makes us different is where our influences come from. And they come from all over. Crafts are a lot like people. Each distinct and different with their own background and story behind them. Just like how people take little bits from the people and things in their lives that they know and love, to create who they are. So it is with crafts... a little thread, some of grandma's old handkerchiefs, a shiny thin needle, and a thimble mixed with some imagination and voilá... New living-room curtains... and a big mess on the floor. But after the kaos of creativity clears. You have something unique, not from any (fill in the blank)-mart. But something that truly reflects who you are and your own diverse personality.
So, this site is to serve two primary functions. (And some others I haven't thought of yet.) First to supply people with crafty little things to help define who they are. And secondly to help and inspire people to make they're own crafty little things... Because it's fun to be crafty....
hmmm... that was longer than I thought... and deeper.........
