For me if I don't do some kind of handicraft on a regular basis it's almost like a little light goes out inside....sounds ridiculous! But it definitely helps keep me sane. Sure it can be challenging when you just can't work out why something isn't 'right' with whatever you're working on. But for me that can be really good, because I either find a solution YAY! Or I decide 'you know what, this isn't working and it's okay not to continue with it' which is very freeing!! Here's to partying like it's 1999.

Yay! Hmmm, craft. It's funny cause I find the word 'craft' doesn't really seem to convey what goes on when we create something. It seems too light in a way, maybe a little trivial, but I find lots of things related to the work of women seems to come across this way. But I know we need a generic name to cover all the handicrafts we have been associated with making over the centuries. For me, I create things basically because I need to. There's an inner push - I believe humans are innately creative beings. And I love working with my hands - there's an 'energy' when we physically make something. Craft keeps me centred and sane and helps me express love towards my nearest and dearest. I couldn't live life without it. Life can be pretty boring at times as it's all routines and responsibility, crafting helps the right side of my brain party like it's 1999. KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
