Welcome to the reluctant crafter

Hi. I'm Kim. I'm a crafter. Nice to see you!

Why do I call this blog "the reluctant crafter"? Well, let's just say I have a tendency to start a craft project then abandon it. I can't say how many times I've done it. It is a little embarassing, to be honest! I have boxes of half-finished sewing projects in my closet that I have no interest in finishing anymore.

Hopefully by blogging about my craft pursuits, I will see more of my projects through to the end :)

I'm always working on more than one thing at a time. Right now, I'm working on a webpage for a friend's business which will be launched December 1, I'm making a batch of hairsticks that I will be putting on my jewelry website ( www.isara-creations.com ), and I am making nightgowns for my daughter who would live in dresses 24/7 if I let her.

What do my craft pursuits include? Well, not all of my creative ventures involve crafting, but here's a list of what I like to do... writing poetry/short fiction/articles, sewing, beadwork, cooking, web design, and I'm sure that as I move on in life I will add more to the list. I used to do a fair bit of painting but I haven't been doing it for some time.

I'll be posting pictures of my craft projects as I go along. I hope you enjoy the ride!
