i guess i don't sketch

You know, it's true- as much as I'd like to sketch my ideas out, I'm just too impatient. It's faster to dive in and figure it out and see it than it is to sketch, plot, think, make a plan and then do it right. I know the latter is the better way, but it jsut isn't as fun. Or as satisfying. Sometimes I go back to sketching, and I probably will for this little project.

I don't know what even got me on this brainwave, but something about the empty white cheddar cheezits box folded flat just screamed "cut out a shape over this fold here and stitch it almost closed and slap it on a key ring, dammit!"

And you know what, I love this key ring thing! And of course now I want to make 843 of them- leaves, more houses, some should be painted, some should have maps on them, others should be fabric! Some should just say home. Or maybe 'mine'.

Perhaps I should grab a piece of paper, now...

Does anyone else busy themselves with such silly things? Like cardboard key baubles that no one will ever use? Eva is right, of course- it is no matter what you are making, silly or not so pretty, so long as your hands are happy. And indeed, my hands are happy.
