As soon as an idea for a new project comes to mind I get all excited- my smile gets bigger and people point out that I look like I am day dreaming (more than usual).
What is really happening is that my brain and well, my whole body, is getting into hyper crafting mode. I start to see the project in my head, lists of required materials and tools start to get compared in my brain's database with the lists of materials and tools that I already posses, step by step images start developing, and oh, so much more.
For an introvert like me, working on crafts/projects is a great outlet. It allows me to spend time thinking and creating on my own and also to share the process with others. I enjoy exchaging ideas about crafting and although I do not always do it in person, there are other ways... other fun ways.
Joining Meandering Design which teams me up with my long time friend Kandy, has been one of those two ways, plus, I have joined the Instructables community. The huge number of creative people in this world does not just amazes me, it inspires me! It delights me that introverts and extroverts alike share the love for their projects and the enjoyment that the process brings about.
I know that I am not the only one daydreaming and in love.
KQ
I get crafty ideas in my head, and visualize the way the finished product will look; trouble is, they never look as good when finished as I visualize them.
ReplyDeletePractice! And accepting that sometimes it isn't going to look perfect :)
