Hi! I'm Madison (it was a boy's name when I got it), I'm 22 and as soon as I graduate college next month there will be nothing to distract me from the fact that I have been unemployed since 2007. In this forced leisure time I've really gone craft crazy, and started a yearly trend of learning some new form of crafting every year. Last year was sewing. This year is quilting. 2009 was knitting, etc.
I can blame my mom for my passion for making things. Her escape during raising my brother and me was paper crafts, such as rubber stamps, scissors with exciting patterns, scrapbooking, etc. Sometimes she'd take me with her, and although I couldn't gossip with the grown up ladies when I was 12, I had fun making clever Christmas cards with them. Although artsy hobbies do run in the family- one of my grandfathers carved wood, one of my grandmothers painted, my brother is in theater and sound.
It's hard to be consistent about blogging given my tendency to improvise and not plan anything, however I'l definitely update when something crafty happens. The next blog will be about this quilt I've been working on slowly (so slowly) since January, which I'll be finishing this afternoon. I'll start compiling a list of the crafty blogs I love reading as well.
So hello!
