Another Blog?!

It seems to me that very few people find something that they are truly passionate about in their life. So for me to have found two things that I could happily focus on for the rest of my life is huge! Especially at the age of 22. 

For the longest time, I didn't see the point of blogging.  It seemed crazy that people had enough to talk about that they thought other people should read and would even care about.  However, in my free time since graduating, I cannot count the number of times I have referenced a blog for sustainability topics, sewing patterns, craft ideas, and more often than anything, recipes. 

You may have seen the blog that I started in January about sustainability and environmental education (loveisgreen.blogspot.com).  My passion for sustainability and the environment satisfies my desire for constant education and knowledge, and my ability to make a difference in this wonderful world we live in.  However, I do have a creative side, and therein lies my other major passion, and the purpose of this blog.  This passion is almost undefinable.  I could say that I like to create things, but that doesn't really tell you anything, although it is the truth. 

I am extremely goal-oriented.  I love to see a final product.  I have always loved to watch construction projects, because it amazes me how such incredible structures can be created using so many parts and pieces.  So from baking to sewing to woodwork, I love not only the process of creating things with my hands, but it is so gratifying to hold up a finished product, knowing that you made it from little pieces of fabric, or a ball of yarn, or flour and eggs.

SO... I plan to use this blog to share my projects.  I will try to include some templates and recipes and process pictures, but it might take me a little time to get the craft blogging process down.

I hope that I can create and share something for everybody, and please feel free to share projects that you have done, or that are just interesting/fun looking. :)

A few notes:

Because of my holiday, gift crafting, I will probably only have recipes to share until I can post images of gifts. 

Also, if you are wondering about "Crafting and Cooking with KMD" KMD is my initials, but is it also the initials of my partner in crafting, cooking and crime, Kaley Dunlap.  There is a good chance that projects and products will have her influence, so that's why KMD instead of Katie.
