99% of my projects can be done relaxing on the couch or in bed, while binge watching TV, when you are bored 📺. I love having some project going on to look forward to after a busy day (when I have time). While also having a hobby to keep my hands busy while I relax.  Most of my crafting projects or hobbies can be put aside in a pile and picked up again whenever, until they are complete. None of them take a substantial amount of time. I tend to get bored if a project takes me too long to complete. I like things I can do in a day or two. I can even tolerate a week or two for some depending on how often I get to work on it and how excited I am about it. 
 

 

Why I Love to Craft

 

Years ago, when I decided I was going to start a preschool/daycare in my home, I was so excited. It was my dream job.  I was a center director of a large center years earlier. I thought it was going to be easy peasy doing it smaller and by myself. Not having any other employees ensures me that I know my kids inside and out 100%. I don’t have to go check with other teachers just to be informed; or count on staff to be the best them they can be just because I expect it. What I did not consider before working from home alone, was the endless amount of time I was stuck in my house, without being able to leave…ever. I never thought at all about the fact that my best friends were going to all be toddlers and I was essentially on my own completely. This feeling became real very quickly. I loved my daycare career already but being stuck and alone was hard. Staring at boring walls and rooms I didn’t love at the time started to set in.  I started thinking that if this is the life and career I really want then I better figure out a way to make it a home and a school I’m obsessed with so I love spending 70% of my time here until I retire. If I’m stuck with me as the only adult to talk to each day for the next few decades I might as well find hobbies to make me happy, like myself since I’ll be my only friend, and pride myself on being the best Kim I can be since I didn’t have anyone else to impress but myself. I’m no one great of course. Definitely basic and no one special.  The kind of woman whose idea of classy is my Walmart clothes and dying my hair out of a box. Just a 45 year old woman who has figured out how to make this mom life and small business work for my family and not want to cry in a pillow every single day 😫😜🤦‍♀️.  I decided I would either fail or succeed on my own. No one to blame if I couldn’t nail my own life, success, and happiness. The only person I can control is me. I spend my day thinking about how everyone can get more out of their day? What I can add? What else can I teach the toddlers? What I can create in my classroom, kitchen, or in my living room etc. to make it more unique, interesting organized or updated? ​I love cheap and easy, but I also love different. My tastes, colors, visions, and decorating ideas may not be for everyone. But they definitely all proudly scream me 😋.
