This weird new side of myself

I've always considered myself creative, but never "crafty." All I do most days is chill at home, run some errands, read, wait for the love of my life to come bounding through the door on his trusty steed (read: bicycle), etc. Thing is, I get super bored. then I get grumpy and sad and feel like I never accomplish anything. So lately I've been doing little crafts; small, short-term projects that, once I'm finished, make me feel like I did something productive with my time.

I'M ADDICTED.

I can't stop making things! I want more books on the subject, I read craft blogs... and Conrad suggested I turn it into something profitable. So I decided to take my wreath to a consignment store, and I'm actually really excited about it! Even if I don't sell it, I feel like I took the necessary steps to be productive and make money.
Something else I really like (get ready, this is unusual) is selling stuff on Craigslist. I have an etsy account, Conrad has an ebay account, which is all great, but those sites charge fees to sell your stuff. Craigslist is fun for me because its free and SO user-friendly.

There are so many things I want to make, this may turn in to a craft blog.
