Crafting Sorrows

i found another craft blog today. i saved the link so you can check it out too. i could sit and read these blogs for hours on end. how are people so stinkin creative? it's really not fair. i get so excited reading these blogs and seeing the ideas they have. probably should stop moping (sp?)and try some of them out. problem is once i am done, where do i display them? my house is tiny and already has too much furniture and nick-knacks. second, where do i store them when they are not on display? i have already used up all my storage space plus more. thirdly and most important. the craft blogs i find are made by women who see potential with all kinds of things from thrift stores. okay, this last one is actually two different problems. #1 - i don't have the eye for seeing potential and #2 - kyle would probably be frustrated if i start spending what we are trying to save for a house and such. which, sadly, i understand that frustration.

i need something to do while my baby is sleeping. something constructive, useful, and cheap. maybe one project a month. then i won't end up with too much "junk" too fast and it would go easy on the pocket book. i could even give them away as gifts. (that reminds me. this christmas, kyle and i are having a homemade christmas. that way the season is more about the giving and quality of the gift than the spending. i have a few ideas of what i want to do for him, but would appreciate any suggestions. remember last christmas i made him a quilt? something like that.) so if you think of any crafts i can do to help me get off my butt, i would love you forever. that should totally be more than enough incentive for you.
