You Know Your A Craftaholic When...

Linda over at Craftaholics Anonymous posted entries received about how you know when you're a "craftaholic."  I felt there were sooo many I could relate with that I thought I share some to see if you are also a "craftaholic!"


You know you're a craftaholic when...


your kids have watched Disney for 8 hours straight in their pajamas and you    
are happily sitting at the sewing machine!

You wake up in the middle of the night and say "oooo remember to stop and   
get fabric tomorrow".

Mod Podge is your way to exfoliate.

you consider your hot glue gun blisters badges of honor.

you go shopping and stealthily take pictures of things because "I can make that!!"



you scurry around at nap time trying to get AS MANY DIY projects in as possible! (my work bench is filled with unfinished ideas)

you regret getting rid of previous supplies, even if it was years ago.


you see things in the store and say "why would I buy that for X when I could make it for less!


you have no fingerprints because of how many times you have burned your fingers with hot glue.


you get a little excited about a stained or bleached shirt because you know you can use the rest of it to make something pretty.


you have to move crafty supplies to the side to make room for your kids to eat at the table.


the photo library on your cell phone has been consumed by things you see in the store to replicate. Suddenly the pictures of the little people in your life are the minority. 


your husband hides your sewing machine cord so you can't sew until you put the laundry away.


the only store you will shop at is etsy.


you have the largest room in the house for your crafting, and it is still too small sometimes.

you move to a new city and the only place you know how to get to without GPS is the craft store!

your collection of projects you want to do is too big to complete in your lifetime and you still plan to do them all.


you've gone to Joann and Michael's more than the grocery store this month.

you see something you like and immediately say "I can SO make that. for cheaper. and better. and cuter."

your dining table holds a sewing machine instead of a serving dish and swatches in place of spoons!


your credit card statement reads "hobby lobby $xx michaels $xx a.c. moore $xx" repeated 6 times.

you'd rather have a craft budget than a cell phone plan

you start to rip apart perfectly good items/clothing/etc. "just to see how it's made"!

you can't even feel the glue gun burns anymore.


dinner is still on the table the night before. :)

your friend asks you what the rash on your hands is from and you say "Oh! Those are just glue gun burns."

you keep looking for cute new project ideas, even though you have a million projects started or supplies purchased for such projects.


...you see your kids about to tear their new jeans and you give them an extra nudge. 


you buy craft items and don't have a clue what you'll do with them!


There are so many more posted on Linda's blog if you want to check it out.  These made me laugh and feel better that I'm not the only "craftaholic" out there!


Are YOU a craftaholic too?
