So, Ive been living in Madrid since September with my lovely man, a lovely man who is also very creative and talented. The list of his talents is endless. I was jealous. I wanted to be cool and ingenious and wondeful and broaden my interests and learn new things, and above all, be a cool mtherfucker like him. Up until this point my interests were as follows; Gin, smoking, and Dolly Parton. Despite my deep love for all three, I really needed a hobby. So I began by making crap macrame friendship bracelets, the type of thing eight year old girls make for eachother, very childish. They were horrible but hey, at least I was making something.
Soon after I started working in a cool little shop doing a parent and baby english workshop. About once a month I also did a story and craft class. Having to come up with fun and original activities for the youngsters was a bit of a chore at the start but we ended up making some amazing stuff, and Irene, the owner of the shop really helped me with ideas by constatly sending me links and websites. I sort of became addicted to craft blogs and started to jot down all the things that I wanted to make. It's a very long list. So here we are, months later I'm finally making a blog so people can see the kind of things I've been making. Unfortunately I still can't call myself a cool motherfucker but I think some of the stuff I've made is pretty motherfucking cool. I hope you think so too.
Keep it real
Sian
