Dirty Hands

I've always been one of those people that HATES getting her hands dirty. Even when I was a kid, playing in the dirt just seemed too...well, dirty. I would immediately go wash my hands as soon as I was finished.

Gradually, over the years, I've gotten better about freaking out when my hands are filthy, but it's still a trial sometimes. 

A few exceptions I've made...

Kneeding bread/baking. Can't be done without gettin dirty.

Certainly my least favorite way of getting dirty, but it's a necessity when ya got kids...

Play-Doh. Duh.

And FINALLY....

Metal stamping has become somewhat of a passion to me, and I work every day at new techniques and ideas, always planning, always creating... and I can't do it with clean hands. Dirt, dust, grease, metal grit...it's all there on my hands. And the funny thing is....

I'm okay with it.

Thank you, crafting time, for making me less OCD about dirt.
