So I've had instagram pretty much since it hit the android market. I'm in love with it. Bordering on sad addiction. I haven't really had much luck finding crafty people on there without having to filter through like a million results for #diy or #handmade. Unfortunately I keep finding chicks who make something once and take a picture with it close to their boobs, or make things that are just plain slutty, suddenly everyone loves them....sorry rant over. Promise
But I'm looking for more people to follow. We should all share some instagram love and share some @names! I'd follow you.
Especially if you share your crafty things. We could start a CO&K revolution....there just needs to be a war cry or no one will get it.
Look me up! @aranumenwen I follow back, as long as you're not a robot.
::EDIT::
So apparently they've just added "Web profiles" I'm assuming that you can view peoples profiles without having the app...or on your computer...I'm doing this from my phone now, so who knows for sure. :/ I usually just use a google chrome extension when I'm feeling especially lazy.
Irregardlessly, here's mine: instagram.com/aranumenwen
@ nicpea. That would be great! I tried some blog hoping on blogger by hitting the random button, for a good two the three hours, they were all so terrible, I don't see why its necessary to have an entire blog on how much jesus seems to love you.
@ pinkweeds. I feel that I already have a large enough vocabulary as it is, I know when to swear and when not to swear. I have a 4 yr old and an angry mother I can watch my mouth when I need to, I just have this feeling like if I'm going to blog about the things I do and enjoy doing that I should really be honest with myself. Honestly my vocab comes out more when I'm depressed, if I need to describe something that I'm feeling I have to come up with more words than just one big long f-bomb like I most feel like. I just think that at least to me my swears are no reflection as to my IQ or lack there of. (my spelling is another story all together though) I seem to run into an issue where when I speak like I think, when my words span outside the normal lexicon, that less people understand me anyway, I may live in the ghetto but that's no excuse as to why they don't understand the phrase "inappropriate euphemism"
I know I'm super late on this one, but I constantly find myself in this dilemma as well. Maybe other people do as well. I make people friendship bracelets when I've gotta do something fast, keychains, shrinky dink jewlery (non of which are really grandpa appropriate though) But I found what usually goes over the best is a personalized version of something they already have...Like if he has a can, find another one and engrave it or something, that way you know they either need it or already like if but if you can put a fancy homemade spin on something they already have and like its usually a safe bet.
Or you can always fix something they need to have fixed, if you like me people keep give me shtuff to fix and it sits in piles forever so for birthday I give them all their stuff back fixed. It's lame but they'll totally appreciate it later.
This may be a little out of the norm and totally not accpetable to most people. And believe me I'm not advocate of drug pushing and I'm totally against illegal substances...I have a great disdain for stoners actually, even if it seems ALL of my friends are.
Normally I spend a great deal of time down in the dumps but I've been having some seriously bad asthma related problems the past two weeks so I broke out the prednisone. Which is merely a steroid in for those of you who aren't familiar but I've been taking four of them like I'm normally prescribed. And I don't know how I've never noticed it before but they totally brighten my day, which is ironically lucky that I rarely take them when they are prescribed, sometimes they give me a sore throat. I'm just saying if you got 'em for some reason, its a totally day brightening option.
If this is totally out of line I understand. And I'll delete this no problem if its an issue.
I do have a question though, I had decided when I started my blog that it should read the way I think about things...with the omission of all the extra unnecessary words...refraining from saying anyways every time I switch subjects. So I tend to be brutally honest about what I'm up to and I swear quite often. I was wondering if it really matters...I mean, I've yet to find myself a crafter who I actually feel I can relate too. So I figured why not? But I was wondering, as readers how much does it matter?
If you've read mine, it would probably make more sense as to what I mean. Aside from this being a little more of a shameful promotion...How detrimental is language, content and motivation to what you're actual producing and trying to covey?
Yeah I'm starting to think that instead of only posting when I make something that I should spend some time blogging about all the wonderful inspirational things and how-to's and examples I spent time finding and never finding the motivation to put to use. Hopefully someone else can then.
I started a blog sometime last fall. I fell off for a little bit liker all of December really. But I'm working on sticking to it..I only have like 12 posts, but almost all of the have pictures. It's about crafts and stuff.
