I love a good craft.

Crocheting in movie theaters.
Cross-stitching watching tv.

My First Ever Cross-Stitch

Latch-hooking to music.

My Orca Latch-hook

Sewing in silence.

To me, crafts are tied to community. Who taught you how to do a craft?

• Crafts are homey. Crafts turn a house into a home.
• Crafts are clever. Crafts call forth creativity.
• Crafts are inspirational. Crafty people see a cute thing at a store and think "I can make that!"
• Crafts are engaging. Sometimes I fidget. Crafts help me to channel fidget-ness into a scarf. Nifty, right?
• Crafts are relaxing. There's nothing like unwinding to a craft you love after a long day.
• Crafts are unique. Buy a person a tie and they might wear it. Make them a cross-stitch and frame it and its beautiful-uniqueness might make it into their decor. Crafts make great gifts and bring forth fond thoughts of the one I'm making the gift for.
