Crafting: My outlet

So, I've needed an "outlet" to fuel my relief of stress towards once I get home at night and over the weekends. Don't get me wrong, I still have to take a LOT of work home with me, but if I can just work on one of my crafts for an hour or so it really does relieve a lot of my stress and it gets my mind off of work.

My friend Katie has inspired me the most! This past weekend we started some crafts which I will later reveal, but the best part (besides catching up and spending time with her and Bronwyn) was finding that crafting is something I really like to do. I've been thinking "why haven't I done this before????". I'm very excited about the craft ideas I have ahead.

Pintrest has also really helped with ideas. If you don't know about it, you need to. It's amazinggggggg. It fuels my "creative juices" and my craft thoughts start to flow. I'm so excited for the weekend. I'm having a crafting night Friday with a girlfriend. It's going to be great.

I need to turn half of my home office into a crafting room, but I'm not sure how I want to go about it. I'm looking at some different ideas. Pictures once I'm done! I'm also thinking about taking some crafting classes at Michael's (whenever I actually get time).

I will reveal more of my crafts later, but for now you can see the Christmas wreath I've made! Yes, I know it's early...but us music teachers tend to do that. I mean, all I have been hearing is Christmas music so I skipped right over the thanksgiving wreath. That doesn't mean I'm not thankful! I am very thankful that God has shown me an outlet and hobby that I can do on the side to relieve some of the pressure and stress at work. I have been praying about this for a long time. He always comes through no matter what you are facing. Even if it is as simple as something like crafting!
