As a means of fighting off the angst brought on by the realization that I'm officially a 9 to 5-working, income tax-paying, water cooler-chatting grown up, I've taken to crafting to ease my ennui. What started with felt on a throw pillow has progressed to acrylic paint, decoupage, polymer clay and much, much more. When not crafting, I watch low budget, but highly addictive, craft shows like Crafters Coast to Coast on HGTV or my new favorite, Craft Corner Death Match, on the Style network. Below are a few examples of what a crafty beaver I have become.
