Hi y’all!
You may know me from my other 2 blogs (that I never keep up) neversatisfied & Cajun Cloth. Neither of those names work for me anymore, and frankly I am tired of changing names! So I figure ‘Cajun Crafting’ will cover all my bases 
I am a momma of two youngn’s – Abby & Matthew. Abby just started Pre-K this year and loves it, and is quite the chatterbox. Matthew is your basic two year old boy – very active, very destructive, very loud. But he is also so very sweet and loving.
I began my crafting journey when I started cloth diapering Abby at 11 months old. Seeing the high price of a diaper (averaging $15) made me want to learn to make my own. Little did I know how addicted I would become to making them and all the cute fabrics! So it didn’t turn out any cheaper *laughs*
Learning all about cloth diapering (and there is alot to learn!) had me wanting to learn to knit. A knit pair of longies would average $50! Totally worth it, but at the time totally not in my price range for a single pair of pants. So I began to knit, and again, little did I know how addicted I would become to yarn! (see a pattern yet?)
Learning to knit just eventually led to my newest love, spinning my own yarn and dyeing the fiber/yarn. My heart was never really in sewing, no matter how badly I wanted it to be, it just wasn’t. I just don’t have the inclination to sew like I do to knit and spin. Which is a shame because I have some beautiful fabrics and wonderful patterns, but they just sit.
I can’t even tell you the last time I turned on one of my sewing machines. I have three – you see when I start a hobby, or anything for that matter, I dive in headfirst and go all out. I want it all! So I have my basic machine that I started with (a gift from my mother and a lovely workhorse), a serger (finicky thing that she is, but sooo worth the time she saves!) and my newest, a combination sewing/embroidery machine. I would like to upgrade her honestly, but I just can’t justify it when I might only use it a dozen times a year.
So here we are today. Just call me a cajun momma with too many hobbies
