New Year. New Blog.

I realize it's a little late to be using the whole 'new year' motif, but I've been meaning to start this blog since January.. that's got to count for something, right?

I've always been a crafty sort - I've been making jewelry for almost 4 years now, sewing off and on for about 6 or 7 years and drawing for as long as I can remember.  Mix in some baking and a little graphic/website design, and you can see how I spend most of my time!

Within the last year I've really gotten the Do-It-Myself bug though, especially for Christmas!  I made cookies, candy, lip balm and vanilla extract for EVERYONE (it's really no where near as hard as it sounds), and family and close friends got body scrubs and jewelry.  I love getting to share what I make with people, so I'm hoping that being able to post my creations will help to inspire me even more - after all, there are SOOOO MANY fantastic craft blogs out there, I can only hope that this one proves to be an inspiration as well!

I have deemed this year to be the year of learning historical 'crafts' (and yes, I'm using the term very loosely here).  I've started learning to quilt (yay!) and I've started making my own hard apple cider - plus I've decided to try and consistently make my own bread instead of buying it!  I'll post up pictures of my quilt soon, and I'll definitely be posting about the cider (I'm really excited about it!!).  Anyways, my goal is to create regularly and post regularly, so keep an eye out for me and I promise there will be pics soon!

Craftily Yours,

Fox
