I don’t know how to dabble.
It’s a sickness. An itis. A problem for sure.
I think I might have somewhat of an obsessive personality.
If there is something I want to learn to do or take an interest in, it’s quite literally ALL I DO until I either get it out of my system, or move on to something else.
In a way, I guess it can be a good thing. I mean, that is what got the photography studio which supports our family off the ground. I used to carry around a notebook with me at all times and any little nugget of knowledge on anything to do with the subject of photography would go into that book. It’s all I read about. It’s all I thought about. It’s all I did.
So lately, it’s the jewelry thing. I am dreaming about it now. There’s a notebook too. I’ll be driving down the freeway and get an idea like, “Elements! What if I did something inspired by the elements! Earth, wind, water, fire. One of each, a series of four.” I have to pull over and write it down. You should see my craft room table, it’s covered in boxes of beads and chain, and wire and, and, and STUFF.
I’m doing a few traveling boutiques this Christmas season, so I’ve been busy making things for those, but I don’t know…
I think there might need to be some sort of intervention.
What is wrong with dabbling in things? A little of this, a bit of that. Do something during my free time. You know, all normal-like.
So anyway. That’s where I am. That’s why I haven’t been posting as much. I guess I could transcribe my little notebook to the blog. But nobody wants to read that.

I think it’s awesome. I wish I had a little more obsession in my personality so I’d finish the things I start. Or get started on the things in my head! You are crazy talented, I love your style and ideas.
I hear I am a total consumer I suck anything I am interested in dry. That is why the hubster calls me the extreme. By the way if your looking for element ideas you should watch the cartoon Avatar the last airbender with your kids probably lots of inspiration there! Especially for your creative soul! Obsess away!
Hey OCD sistah! You should think about it as focused! You are focused….repeat that. Besides there’s nothing bad about keeping yourself busy instead of sitting there on the couch watching mindless TV. Oh wait that’s hitting a little close to home right now.
I thought it was called passionate! I wish I had some small little inkling of it running through my veins.
I have the same issue. My hubby says I have a new hobby every week! I don’t think it’s THAT bad! Ha
you should do a traveling boutique here in texas (a.k.a., take a vaca and come visit me) that would be fun. btw i got your email, just slow at responding is all. can’t wait to hear about your spook ally!
Oh I am SUCH A DABBLER! It’s not bad I don’t think! I think all that you do is amazing! I love you and I love your posts!
