"only 1% of your ironing is done on laundry, the other 99% is done on crafts!" Davis is usually pretty good at pointing those out silly things like this to me. {although it is true, i rarely touch an iron unless there's a craft involved.}but i was thinking it would be fun to collect your answers to the statement: "You know you're a Craftaholic when..." and put a fun post together. i think we all could get a good laugh from this! so email me your answer(s) at craftaholicsanon@gmail.com and i'll put together a fun post. be sure to include your name and a link to your blog (if you have one) so i can put your info with your answer.
i want to hear from all you Craftaholics out there!! {even if you're still in denial...}
i want to hear from all you Craftaholics out there!! {even if you're still in denial...}
I can't think of anything now but if I do come up with something I will definitely email you...
ReplyDeleteHA! My Iron resides upstairs in my craft room - NOT downstairs in the laundry room.
ReplyDeleteI sent you a couple of them....speaking from experience of course. :)
ReplyDeleteyou know you´re a Craftaholic when the family goes hungry and asks what time it is...-"when are we going to eat?"
ReplyDelete..you´re a Craftaholic when you collects things your friends throw away. Recycling!
i totally agree with the ironing! Mine is rarely used except for my crafting.
ReplyDeleteYou know your a crafter when you ask your husband not to throw the toilet paper roll away because your going to create something out of it, and then he looks at you like you are on drugs or something.

oh my gosh! this is so funny! I have a whole post ready about this! I'll let you know when I post so you can add some to yours if you want! Crartaholics must think alike!!!!!
ReplyDelete...when you aren't sure if your finger tips are sore from pressing the spray paint can, or using the hot glue gun too many times
ReplyDelete.....when you go to work with paint/glue/sparkles/threads/etc stuck to you.
ReplyDelete.....when you see someone wearing a really cool t-shirt and contemplate asking them if you can have it to refashion for your 2-yr-old (a la Lil Blue Boo).
....when you have pocket in your purse dedicated to Joann's, Michael's and Hobby Lobby coupons.
....when you ask your hubby if you can take your sewing machine on vacation with you.
....when you hoard magazines and blog posts of other's craft ideas!
I would have to say - You know you are a blogging crafter when the whole room is a mess except for the area you are photographing!

...when the only thing unpacked and set up in your new home is your sewing table and machine.
ReplyDeleteWhen you save shiny gum wrappers to use as canvas backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteWhen you own at least 20 types of glue.

You know you're a craftaholic when you start pulling apart someone's handmade gift to see how they made it before even saying "thank you."

When your craft table is part of your living room furniture and never taken down.
ReplyDeleteWhen I start spending my husbands personal budget on crafting things (because I'm already over budget on mine and the kids...)
ReplyDeleteYou know you are a craftaholic when...you have more pictures loaded on your computer of your crafts than your kids.

...When your children put their arms straight out the second you come out with a measuring tape.
ReplyDelete...When you no longer have finger prints from the hot glue gun burns.
...When you sit in a movie and instead of watching the story line, you are looking at their clothes or how the house is decorated and making lots of mental notes on how you can make them for yourself.
P.S. I stumbled on your blog a few weeks ago and I love it! -Kelsee
Some of these answers are so funny- and I agree with all of them. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you blow the budget on fabric because there was a good sale...
When your sewing machine lives on the kitchen table and you leave it there all the time.
When you start looking at everyday things - like a shoelace, or a crayon or an old frame and think of something you could make out of it...
can't wait to hear all the answers- some were cracking me up :)
When you've become a gun enthusiast- glue gun, staple gun, nail gun!
ReplyDeletewhen your hubby tells you that you have more inventory in your craft room at home than the actual craft store in your town does :)

PS- LOVE your blog! Glad I found it :)
I guess I have a serious problem then...Help!
ReplyDelete.....when your husband drives 20 miles an hour over the speed limit on trash days, in fear you might find something in other's trash you want to "alter" *Ü*
ReplyDelete.....when your husband tries to keep it secret that he's going to Lowe's or Home Depot.
.....when you transfer all your cereal into glass canisters just so you can use the "good boxes" for patterns or chipboard substitutes.
You know you're a craftaholic when~
ReplyDeleteIt's 1pm and you're still in your jammies with your hair a mess, the kids have entertained themselves by trashing the house, but you've just completed the cutest little craft project!
You know you're a crafter when you yell across the office "I want that box (or envelope) if you don't want it."
ReplyDeleteThis is my true life one... I don't hardly ever buy new clothes because it cuts into my crafting money. I try to buy clothes at the end of a season off the clearance rack if possible and I wear my clothes out.
Yep...my iron is in my craft house along with cute boxes from the office just waiting to be covered with scrapbook paper.
Take care,

ReplyDeleteYou know you're a Craftaholic when...the biggest reason your husband is excited to buy a new house is so YOU can have a craft room where HE can unceremoniously toss any and all 'craft stuff' he finds in the rest of the house.
You know your a crafter when your 6 year old son uses the word fabric in everyday coversation!
ReplyDeleteYou know you're a craftaholic when your 3yr old child asks why you didn't go to the fabric store today as if something is wrong.
ReplyDeleteor
you are trying to concentrate on getting a new recipe right and the colour and shape of the food makes you think of all the new things you can create. ( extra sad when you actually draw new designs onto the floured board)
You know you're a craftaholic when...your kids get stains on their clothes and instead of pre-treating you think of cute crafts with the fabric...
ReplyDelete...when you tell friends and neighbors to stop throwing veggie cans away, so they can be decorated and used for table centerpieces for the high school band banquet....
