I am a crafting fool!

Manic? Maybe. I have had about 10 projects going this past month some of which I have finished. There were paper beads, fimo beads, paper mache beads, building the jewelry projects from the beads. Then there were the crochet projects. I made a bunch of granny squares, a poncho, half a blanket, and I am working on a Mizzou blanket now and I am just itching to try making some felted wool beads.

I have always liked crafts and little projects but normally I love the planning process and the end result more than the work. So what is it lately that has me plunging in and finishing the projects? I have no idea. Maybe I hit some weird manic phase, I don't really know. Perhaps two years of working full on and producing nothing tangible has manifested an obsession.

All I know is that my fingers are tired, but I go crazy if I am not working on something. I even ruled out some of the enjoyable projects I had done because I was afraid they might be too much on my hands. I guess I am in a phase of trying to decide what my hobby is.

The cool thing is that I am seeing myself growing as a person, which is a very satisfying epiphany to have on the day after your thirtieth birthday, don't you think?
