Hi I am Fran and I am totally new to blogging. I have spent the last forty some years in the 9 to 5 (sometimes 9 to 9) work world in various management positions. The last five of those years I spent planning what fun I would have in retirement doing two of the things I really love: crafting and cooking.
Nine months ago I finally pulled the plug and retired from a great job to a greater life. I now spend my days pursing my passions and not worrying about resolving work issues, controlling overtime, staffing shortages or whether or not I would make it home in time for important family celebrations or appointments.
In this short time I have learned so much about crafts, food, and myself as a crafter and cook. I definitely realized that I have so much more to learn but I want to start now sharing what I have learned with other’s of similar interests.
In this journey, the biggest ‘Ah Ha’ moment for me has been the realization that I I love end results that are awesome, jaw dropping, and delicious but I do not have the patience for long drawn out processes. I love the final product to be of high quality and beautiful, but do not want to take the time to meticulously produce a finished product that requires hundreds of work hours or steps. If I can replace some steps with a already prepared item of quality, I have so much more patience with the project and will likely see it to completion. That is how the Lazy Crafter’s Blog was born.
In the coming days, I will be sharing some of my recent adventures involving crafting and cooking. I am in the process of making a TV watching blanket and Valentines Day cookies and candy. Check back next week to see my adventures and what progress I am able to make.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you, Fran.
