Crystal Defined

Like many others, I've been drawn into the world of pinterest.com I decided to make a board called Crystal Defined, this board made me want to elaborate on a few of the things that I have chosen to define me...

I am a jeweler (well not really, but it sounds cool), a quilter, an upcycler, lover of farm animals, extreme reader, fan of dolphins, NES nostalgia child, and a fan of Red Hill General Store.

These are things that have been relatively constant in my life, crafting is my meditation, I love playing with beads making necklaces and earrings. I enjoy quilting and sewing of any kind. I like to give something old new life and help it avoid going to the garbage dump. I grew up around my friend's farms and enjoyed feeding the calves, chasing the chickens, and playing with the goats. I have loved to read ever since I first learned how. I grew up obsessed with dolphins and have finally had a chance to be up close and personal with them. I am a fan of all things Mario. And Red Hill General Store was one of my first jobs in High School, it is amazing to see how much that small family owned business has grown.

I am still working on Crystal Defined. Both the pinterest board and in real life. I am working on getting back to me, to who I am and who I want to be. It has been a difficult journey thus far, but every step has been worth it.

I have come a long way since the depressed sad person who didn't know which way to turn or go:



But my journey is not through yet. I still have 55 lbs left to lose. But if I have come this far the rest should be attainable as well. Wish me luck on the last bit of my journey.
