Welcome to the little corner of the crafting universe that is Quirky Platypus. And it is just that, literally a little corner in my house.
Complete with a trusty helper cat. He pretty much just lives there on the back of my chair.
I have tried (and failed) at this blogging thing a couple several times before. I think my usual problem is that I try to make my blogs too focused on one thing. So this blog will just be a catch all for whatever I am thinking and doing at the time. Including family and "mommy blog" stuff.
I have three major crafts I like to do (knitting, cross stitch, and sewing) and have a tendency to jump from one to another and forget the others for months, or even years, at a time. I am going to try to keep up with all of them better this year. I also cook, A LOT, so that will probably be making appearances, along with an occasional crochet project.
Monthly Craft Goals for 2012:
