About Crafty Clutter Conquered

About Me

Hi there, I'm LeslieAnne, your trusty Crafting Coach, here to make sure you finally cross the finish line in your crafting marathons!

My crafting journey began at the ripe age of 4 when finger-painting and drawing were my jam. Over the years, I've dipped my creative toes into all sorts of crafty waters. I've tried my hand at crocheting, quilting, and appliqué (sometimes with more enthusiasm than skill). I've conquered the art of beading—whether it's stringing, weaving, or even creating little bead sculptures. I've even ventured into the wild world of fashion, though I quickly discovered that making clothes was a one-time adventure!

But that's not all, folks! I've woven wreaths out of everything from straw to cedar to fabric and ribbon. I've dabbled in crafting for critters, whipping up toys for cats, birds, and even baby humans. Oh, and did I mention that I taught myself how to needle-felt wool? And it gets even fancier—I've won a few local awards for my wearable full-sized face masks, which led to my exciting journey as an exhibitor at The Artisan Center in Berea, Kentucky. I even joined the prestigious Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen, though I've since traded my bluegrass for the Arizona sun.

Phew! You could say I've been around the crafting block a time or two.

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the craft room—we've all been there. You know that room, closet, or drawer filled with half-started projects? Yeah, I call those UFOs, short for UnFinished Objects. They're like the Area 51 of crafting, and my mission is to help you launch those UFOs into the crafting cosmos. We'll turn them into stellar gifts, gorgeous décor, or fashionable wearables while decluttering not just your craft space but your heart and mind too.

So, whether you're knee-deep in fabric scraps or buried beneath a mountain of unfinished projects, join me on a crafting adventure where we'll turn your "I'll get to it someday" projects into "I did it!" triumphs. Because when it comes to crafting, starting is easy, but finishing? That's where the real magic happens!
