I can’t think of any interesting stories involving crafting (maybe I haven’t found my creative sense of adventure yet?) I’ve always felt a strong need to create though, it’s my therapy. Sewing is my hobby of choice but I’m better described as a Chronic Repurposer, anything I can get my hands on is considered raw material. My grandmother and mother passed down to me a very eclectic sense of style, a hatred of being ordinary and a fear of overpaying (with some expensive taste on top of all that). My father is a contractor who can build anything (as far as I’m concerned!), so my house was a very creative and resourceful one. As a result, no project or hobby or skill has ever seemed too big to tackle. Except playing musical instruments, we’re all inept in that department.
I don’t know where the creative drive came from but I’m thankful that it’s always been encouraged, and I’ll continue to do the same with my kids. And there you have it, my crafty-ness in a nutshell
