Time to Focus

I really need to work out the kinks in my blog. First off, I'm not even entirely sure what my blog is about. It kind of started out as a DIY-esque fashion blog, then transitioned into other DIY projects, then it turned into me raving about what furniture I wanted but would never acquire. There's just an incohesive jumble of art, fashion, DIY, and decor kind of jumbled together here. How very inconsistent of me.

Well let's see. What are my interests you ask? I love plants, art, and crafting. That pretty much narrows down my interests.

Plants are great! They're so green and lovely and diverse and great for climbing and great for food and look lovely in a vase on the table and fun to plop in your garden and watch it grow. Plants are beautiful, and my obsession with them won't be dwindling any time soon.

Art is awesome. And I'm not talking about that really obscure art (but if that's your thing more power to you). Be it well known mediums like drawing or painting or sculpting, art is so diverse and indefinably beautiful. Art can be found in wood working, in glass work, sewing, weaving, music. I like tangible art with a creative spark or an interesting message. I like creative uses of colors and shapes and forms. I like art that obviously had some effort and thought put into it. I love seeing an idea manifest itself into a physical form via the artist.

Crafting is an art of it's own. Sewing, knitting, crocheting, painting, jewelry making, woodworking...Crafting to me means making something yourself instead of buying it, or adding personal touches to an item to make it more suited for your tastes. Embroidering an edge to a sweater, knitting your own hat, making a terrarium, or painting a side table. Crafting projects can be as big or as small as you want them to be.

I'll do my best to focus more around themes. I also need to get in the habit of posting more personal pictures, and of my surroundings.
