Arts & Crafts in the Real World

19 Feb

By being a sorority girl in college there was always some excuse to be crafty. Whether it was a philanthropy or just a sisterhood event there was always glitter and glue close at hand. However now that I am in the “working world” I have had withdraws from those spontaneous craft cravings. Pintrest has been one of my outlets for creativity but sometimes looking at artistic things and pinning them that just does not cut it (no pun intended).

So I got a little aggressive and purchased some Annie Sloan chalk paint in Paris grey… highly recommended for only semi crafty people who do not want to get too dirty.  My mother had suggested it as she knew that I have a tendency for unfinished projects…  I had a console table that would be perfect for my crafting needs it was a bland wood table that I bought off Craigslist for $50 so if I totally destroyed it I wouldn’t be devastated only mildly embarrassed .

Well all in all I think it was a success, not perfect but I think that some of its imperfections make it perfect : )
