I suck at crafts!

It is funny because I absolutely love what I do for My Noisy Boys Designs.  I love coming up with the designs, the colourways, the making of the products, the making of new patterns for other products, I even think I am really good at it - but man I suck at crafts!  Any group I am with or "evening" out arranged by friends or even myself, that involves any other type of crafting and mine will usually turn out quite the disaster.  We had to decorate glass vases as a gift for one group I was a member of and I couldn't believe the monster I had made - it was left sitting on the shelf in the "left overs - won't give to the grandmas unless we have to" box and I didn't blame them in the slightest.  There are some people out there who are just amazing at any art they turn their hand to - their cupcake, painting, card decoration, knitting, painted pot (Ms Kerri Anderson - you are most definitely one of those talents!!) - always looks so wonderful.  I think people assume I am one of those because I work with design - but they quickly realise that is not the case.  I just love to see the looks on their faces "..and what has Caroline done.....(I sit back to show the full wonder of my creation) ... oh pause.....oh...    pause ....oh ..... that  .....is  ...... sooooooooooooooo  ................ pause  ...........c...o...l....o..u..r....full  - or if you are one of my friends sitting next to me in the ceramics night I arranged one day - "and what the hell is that Caroline"!!  So if you are really wanting to get your teeth into something .....or start an etsy store, but you don't feel you are the "crafty" type - fear not.  It may mean you just haven't found your thing yet - try anything that appeals to you - if you love it - KEEP GOING.  You too will find your THING - but still be crappy at other crafts!
