Week 1- Ceramic Jewelry Dishes

Welcome to Week 1!! I actually did it, recorded, edited and posted! I’m realizing the videos have to be sped up a little bit to make them under 3 minutes… but I will work on that.

This week we are making Ceramic Jewelry Dishes! These are so fun and easy, make GREAT gifts and our perfect week one craft!

Supplies:

• Ceramic Dipping bowls

• Waterproof ModPodge

• Paper Napkins (with cute designs)

• An Old paintbrush

• Gold Paint Pen

• Nail File

• Scissors

Amazon List

I’ve linked everything in my Amazon storefront for this craft. I’m still figuring out all the inner workings of how I want to share these crafts… Not sure if I want to break them down on here in blog format, or just keep them to only videos. What do you guys think?

Can’t believe I bought these bowls 4 years ago, and am just NOW getting around to using them. I think I should start mentioning how long I’ve held onto the craft supplies before using them… so we can all laugh at how crazy I am.

Let me know, did you make this one??

Why Not Start Another Project?

I’m sitting out here on our deck, coffee in hand, box of tissues by my side as I finish the last little bit of this allergy/cold/whatever is assaulting my sinuses at the current moment. As I stare out at the yard, full of projects to finish, ignoring my house that is in shambles and desperately needs my attention, because in true Jordanne fashion, I have decided to start YET ANOTHER project.

15 Crafts in 15 Weeks.

Dance is just about to finish up, baseball is in full swing, summer is starting, we have many projects, trips, birthdays and I’ve decided to add another thing for my brain to focus on.

Are you asking yourself, “WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?” To which I would respond, “Haven’t you learned ANYTHING about me yet? I’m a glutton for punishment. And apparently THRIVE in the chaos.”

So here’s the deal. I have an EXCESS of craft supplies. Maybe not as much as some people, but I pretty decent amount… and they are for all random sorts of crafts, art projects, etc.

SIDE NOTE: I used to hate the word “Craft”. It was like nails on a chalkboard when someone would tell me “You’re so crafty” It honestly felt like such a dig as an Art Major, holding a BA in Art & Graphic Design. After studying all mediums; watercolor, sculpture, drawing, ceramics, fine art photography, design and more. Heck, I even used to wear turtlenecks and berets in college. HA. (but this was 2008… and I wouldn’t survive around art students of today) But as I’ve gotten older, I’m realizing being a crafter isn’t all that bad. If I actually find the time to do it, it’s quite therapeutic.

Which is the WHOLE REASON FOR THIS. Immersion Therapy. I’m FORCING myself to make the crafts, or do the projects I have bought all the supplies for, or pinned on Pinterest, or saved on Instagram… because my brain NEEDS this. The joy I feel after accomplishing the project, well, honestly, it doesn’t do much for me, because I’m pretty sure I have ADHD and don’t get fulfillment from completing it. But the satisfaction of using the supplies I bought, knowing I didn’t waste all our money for nothing… Starting the project, sharing the project with other people… that’s where I find joy.

Are you going to join me? Each week, I’ll post a video of us doing the craft, I'll give you a supplies list and instructions and you can do it as well!! Okay! Let’s do this.
