This is serious...I'm needing help. Not my area of expertise. In fact, it's not even on my radar. And this would be okay, except now my husband is starting to hint around. He even came right out and said it this evening..."we need to do something crafty for Christmas this year." HA! Crafty? Me?? Why, I don't even own a glue gun! I have not a ribbon or pipe cleaner, a single stitch of fabric or spool of thread. Not a sewing needle in the house.
Now I realize that this may come as a shock to most of you crafty bloggers out there. How can you be a homemaker and not at least know how to sew on a button or have a glue gun in your possession? Even funnier is that my mom was VERY crafty. I can't even tell you how many times I burned myself on the hot glue gun as a child. It was everywhere, always plugged in and dripping all over. She knew how to make beautiful things without any money or tutorials...why didn't that rub off on me?
So now you understand why I'm a little nervous about this sudden and very specific request from my husband. I'll be keeping a close eye on Edie's 12 Days of {handmade} Christmas over at lifeingrace for some ideas. But what will I need for crafting? All I can think of is obviously a hot glue gun...I guess I should just go walk around Michael's and look at what's available. I'm really in over my head in this arena...Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm stuck on pipe cleaners and hot glue.
What else am I going to need for a successful crafting adventure with my family?
