Advent 14

I love making stuff and I love Pinterest, but I know first hand how the fuckers who make all the lovely crafty stuff I see on there are cheating somehow coz mine never turn out like in the pictures.
Thankfully there is a wonderful website, Pinstrosity, where crafters can gather and share their crafting disasters so we can all have a good laugh about how we're not the only ones that can't stick glitter to any place we actually want it to go.

I love fails - I used to spend hours on Failblog. It's funny, but I feel like I can relate. It's nice to know you're not the only one who stuffs things up or does really dumb things.

Oh definitely. It can be so disheartening when you just see the perfect stuff and then your own measly creation. Stuff like this reminds me that it's supposed to be fun and actually screwing up is part of the enjoyment : ) xx

There's something endearing about things that suck a bit. I have some stuff I made in high school that is all wonky, it makes me laugh. I failed so hard at anything that involved using my hands.

But I have fun.
