Hi Guys,
My first post on Get Crafty and yaaahhhyy, it is saying a Hi to fellow Aussies. OK, so I am NOT really an Aussie but a Brit who has been here since 96 and living in Melbourne.
Am into zillions of things arty/crafty and desperate to find a way to make these skills pay. Looking forard to being inspired and MIGHT be interested in some kind of an exchange depending on deadlines etc..
Pleasure to meet you*
Blessings

Where I thought I’d be:
Ten years ago, I thought I'd be married by now (to someone I broke up with six years ago), living in a house. I was pretty turned off by the idea of having kids then. I thought I'd be doing something business/finance related, since that's what my parents encouraged me to do, and that was what I studied in college. Nothing to exciting there, and to be honest, the future didn’t seem all that exciting to me. I’ve battled depression and low self-esteem most of my life, and that has really hindered my ability to paint a rosy picture for myself.
Where I am:
I’m not married, and am currently bringing a six year relationship to a close (some days feeling sad about this, some days relieved...I am so torn about it). I feel more anxious about this than I want to admit. I had hoped he would be the “one” and the rest of my life story would fall happily into place. Now I know it’s not going to be that easy. But I’m ok with that….I think.
No kids, but as of this past year not unreceptive to the idea of having one or two.
I’m still an apartment dweller, but only because I don’t see myself living in Philly much longer. I am waiting impatiently for something to happen with my current search for a librarian position (the longest, most drawn out process of any job search I’ve ever experienced!), which could take me to the west coast, the south or further northeast. Then, the house hunt will begin.
I’ve rediscovered my artistic side in a big way, which is the happiest difference between now and ten years ago. After having a childhood filled with painting, drawing, sculpting, sewing, etc, I all but abandoned creating art by the time I got to high school (to this day, I’m not entirely sure why). Since getting out of grad school I’ve picked it back up with a vengeance. Doing the arty/crafty stuff keeps me going, has brought me into contact with people I truly identify with, and has helped me work through many of my “issues” (old fashioned therapy helped, too).
I have a couple of regrets, but overall I am a much happier, better adjusted, confident person. I used to spend so much energy being angry and hence missed out on a lot. I still have a long way to go, lots to learn, but that’s life!

I'm an Aquarius; Chinese horoscope sign, the snake.
I think its funny that there are so many Aquarians responding. The best art class I ever took had a painting project based on your star sign, and I was the only Aquarius! So I'm glad to see we are actually arty/crafty, at least on this board.
