I gave in!

I finally gave in and got a pinterest account.  It's right up my alley, the only reason I didn't do it sooner was because I knew how much time I would waste on it!  But I decided it was worth it, especially since my bookmarks don't save half the time on my janky computer, the holidays are coming up, I want to start a monthly craft club, and I'm running out of ideas.  Plus, it's kinda fun to see your own stuff out there, pinned and repinned for all the world to see!  :)

So, yeah.  I'm on pinterest.  Celeste Fernandez/omaroma.  Sometimes I'll shamelessly pin my own creations, not because I want you to repin but because it helps keep me organized and find things when I want to.  Usually I'll just pin things from people far more talented and inspired than I am.  Now if you follow me you can get inspired by all the people that inspire me, too!

Also, I'm serious about the monthly craft club.  It came to me during the General Relief Society meeting (there was a purpose, my mind wasn't just wandering!) and I feel like it was an inspired thought.  I want to teach people how to make cute things that have three major qualities I look for in a craft:
(1) Cheap ('cause I'm poor...I'm talking like $5 per project cheap!),
(2) Quick and easy ('cause I'm impatient and still a beginner by many crafting standards), and
(3) Possessing form AND function ('cause I don't have space for a zillion "pretty" things that have no real purpose).

SO.  If you're anywhere near me and interested in joining this monthly craft club night, I'm still getting ideas and organized and such so it'll be another month or two before it falls into place, but let me know!  And if you're NOT near me, but still interested, I've got a board on pinterest called "Craft Night Ideas" that will inspire you...and, of course, I'll post tutorials here on the good ol' blog of what we actually do once all is said and done so you can follow along at home, if you feel so inclined.

Here's to a new chapter in my personal crafting adventure!  And here's to YOURS!

  1. I LOVE criteria number 3! I don't consider myself a super crafty person, and it's partly b/c I just can't handle having many things that aren't useful and there are SO many crafts that are not! I'm so glad you'll be posting on your blog about your craft nights . . . b/c I don't DARE join pinterest, as previously indicated on fb. :) On an unrelated note, I noticed in another post that you actually correctly spelled voila. And I love you for it. hahahaha
