So tired of boxes

Jun 21, 2011 15:06

I am seriously considering throwing out everything I own just so I don't have to pack it.

Ugh.

Do you ever feel the need to just create? Something? Anything? I haven't had time to pursue anything artistic ... pretty much since we moved back to Pennsylvania... I used to paint often. I still have a piles of canvases that I never used. And a few ( Read more... )

I am too far to help pack, but I totally would!! Packing is a very good opportunity to get rid of things you dont need or use, so I kind of like it. I know, I'm crazy!

I bought a kit to do some quilling once -- I didn't even know it had a name! -- but haven't gotten around to making anything with it. I really enjoy needle felting, although I don't enjoy stabbing myself with the really pointy needle whenever I zone out and stop paying attention to what I'm doing.

Packing is the worst. Good luck! ♥

Thanks- seriously packing is a form of torture!

What is needle felting?

You take a hunk of wool and stab it about a million times with a needle to shape it into a cute animal or whatnot. I like it because a) cute animals and b) you can really zone out for a while when you're just starting the project, when you're still making the basic shapes and not doing details.

Moving is such a pain! We moved so many times and each time we had MORE stuff to pack haha!

Have you tried making jewelry? I really got into that for awhile, it was fun and you can get a little case that makes it pretty easy to take it with you to other places. Plus it made some nifty bday/christmas presents for family :)
