Hello Everyone!
I got started on my baby gift yesterday and , just as I thought, it's not going to be easy. It's frustrating to work so uncomfortably. It's also going to take me so much longer than usual since I can't work for very long at a time. The only consolation will be how pretty it will be in the end and how much it will be appreciated.
I guess that for most crafters like me it's not just about the love of creating something but of making others happy. It's not that we're vain and that we want the praise and recognition but that we truly like to make someone else happy. I make a Christmas ornament every year for all the kids in the family and I'm really happy when I see how much the kids like them. They may not appreciate the time and effort I put in but they appreciate that I made it my self, the kind of gift that most kids are not used to these days. I've made many things over the years for many people and I'm often told the items are part of their memories--Christmases past, wedding days, special occasions--and to me there is no greater joy.
So let me get back to my crafting!
Make today a pretty day!
