I'm sick of going to stores looking at ridiculously over-priced items and thinking to myself, There is no way this actually cost that much to make. I bet if I tried hard enough, I could make it myself. I tell my husband my exact thoughts, and he usually says to me, "Sharon, you always say that. But, you don't actually do it." Touche, hubby, touche. So, here's to making my husband eat his words (which is always fun), and proving to myself that I actually CAN do it.
In this blog, I will dabble in many different areas of DIY, share some really fantastic ideas from other bloggers (and hopefully come up with some of my own ideas, as my mad skillz grow), and most importantly, actually make stuff. I know I've amazed myself with stuff that I've already made, and I hope I can help someone else out there gain that confidence as well. 'Cause, let's be honest here - there's nothing sweeter than the feeling you get when a friend's face freezes in that mixture of shock and jealousy when she asks where you got that hat/purse/necklace/bracelet/skirt/shirt/whatever, and you respond with "I made it."
So, I will try one project weekly (I've got enough ideas saved on Pinterest to last me a while). I will share with you the triumphs, the results after I've flung a project at the wall several times, and resources I found helpful in completing projects. Sometimes making things is a course in trial and error, and knowing me, there WILL be some pretty monumental failures. And that's okay, because I learn from my mistakes. So as we go, if you're trying anything along with me, please feel free to comment with tips, frustrations, and/or improvements on what I've done, or just general encouragement. Lord knows I'll need it.
Thanks for making stuff with me!
