Post-wedding, I experienced a level of craft burn-out never previously seen by humans. Maybe on another planet, there are aliens who have crafted enough flower petal cones and water bottle labels that the very sight of a glue stick gave them acid reflux, but I have not met them. Mr. Caterpillar would hide my issues of Domino and Martha Stewart, knowing that if I saw them I would start howling about my paper cut scars and how double-sided tape was created by the devil. It was not such a cheerful time.
But, little by little, over the course of 2007, I started a few tiny projects. A little watercolor here. A little gingerbread house construction there. In December, when the Bees were secret santa-ing, I had a minor freak out. Was I supposed to craft something? There are some seriously crafty Bees — I wasn’t about to try and best them building a log cabin or silver smithing. Luckily, Bee assured me I could buy something and no one expected a cabin.
Well, now it’s February, and the great valentine swap is upon us. I got out my glue stick and I didn’t get hives! I made some valentines!


I’m not sure what the moral of this story is — maybe, push your wedding crafting onto your bridesmaids?
