About

IMG_2002Hi there!

I am Ria.  Getting into arts and crafts is something new for me.   I was a kid who got C’s in Art Class because I wasn’t good at drawing still lifes or shading.   Being asked to draw a portrait of St. Augustine and failing at it was probably the last straw.

Making crafts in Work Education was an entirely different thing.     Oh, yes, I submitted beautiful baskets and perfect crochet table runners … because someone else made them for me.  Hehehe!!!  Work Education class = trauma!!  I remember crying my eyes out, one Sunday evening, dreading to go to school because I couldn’t make a chain stitch!!!

What did I learn from all of this?  I learned that the point of making art and making crafts is liking what I’ve made while enjoying the process.  I don’t need anyone to tell me my work is beautiful or simply awful.

I created this blog hoping I can inspire you to make and create, too  ….  and also so that I can prove to my husband that I actually use the materials I hoard, hehe!

Thanks for stopping by. 🙂

    I’m SO inspired! You’re so talented.
    How did you teach yourself to draw? I’ve been drawing since forever and I’m still terrible.
