Jack Of All Crafts

I'm the kind of person who starts many things and finishes none of them.
As a result, I have a lot of unfinished crafts just sitting around.  I mean a lot.
I have : two unfinished quilt tops, two finished quilt tops with no backing, 
two quilts with backing and no binding (this is starting to sound like a quilt ark),
three cross stitch pieces (I had four, but I finished one two years ago, and framed 
it last year), two felt piece works, a shirt and an apron cut out but not
sewn, a rag rug only half way done (I have an excuse for that one - I ran out
of scrap material), feed sacks waiting to be up-cycled into shopping 
bags, and I'm sure I missed some things.

I am the jack of all crafts, master of none.


This is a picture of Starbuck Sadie. She was
foaled in the mid 80's, so I don't think
she was named after the coffee shop.
Deciding I do not have enough on my plate,
I added on painting.  And not just one kind.
I started watercolors, acrylics and oils simultaneously.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.  After all, I can draw.
Unfortunately, I am the same with painting as I am with 
crafting.  I have canvas boards and watercolor paper with
sketches on them all over the house.  Despite my shortcomings,
I have finished a few.


This is one of my first watercolors.
The colors are kind of funny looking,
blame it on my scanner.  The real picture
is not so blah.
Not bad but not good.  If anyone has any constructive
criticism for me, feel free to leave a comment.
