My facebook friends know that I have, since May 27, 2013, been posting "without glasses". Since I was in the 3rd grade, I've worn either glasses or contacts and when the opportunity to get LASIK came to me... I waited and interviewed with several doctors and took several free consultations until I found the doctor and staff that I deemed worthy to shoot lasers into my eyes.
After the procedure, all my posts on FB were "... without glasses."
For example:
...first time making spaghetti- without glasses... no lenses to fog when I drained the pasta
...first time wishing (enter name here) a happy birthday- without glasses
...first time at (enter location here)- without glasses
...first sushi- without glasses
...first glass of wine- without glasses... yup! Still not blurry! (to which one friend replied, "you just didn't drink enough")
It got to be so basic that after a while, my friends would be post the "without glasses" for me, if I failed to mention it. LOVE MY FRIENDS, by the way!!!
So that's basically the story behind the name of the blog.
The crafting part comes because I will (eventually) be crafting again as I did in the past and I wanted someplace to show the work and maybe a few hints in case there are "others" out there who could benefit from the time I waste doing something incorrectly... or to spin it positively, "learning and sharing".
My thanks to all the bloggers out there who share their time, talent, and treasure and give me inspiration ... if only someone will give me enough hours in the day to do all that NEEDS to be done, and still have time for what I WANT to get done.
In the meantime, I return to "real life" and to support my "craft habit" with my day job.
Stay tuned! More to come!!
