This morning in the car on the way to work I was thinking about all my crafty pursuits, and then I got to thinking that what I really have are what people would call "homemaker skills" Despite that fact that I hold down a very busy, very technical job I still enjoy all the same pursuits that my grandmother would have enoyed (not my mother, she was a bra burner wild child) I'm the traditionalist, sort of. I would consider the following as home maker type pursuits, including but not limited to:
- Sewing
- Baking
- Knitting
- Crocheting
- Cross Stitching/embroidery
- Cooking
I'm not saying I'm a pro at any of these things, but I enjoy them all. The point here is that almost nobody I know enjoys ANY of these things. Everyone I know is into instant cakes, frozen dinners, store bought halloween costumes and gifts.
Now I dont go all pioneer and do EVERYTHING myself, but I've been known to sew a cosutme, Bake bread (with and without a breadmaker) cook a roast, knit a sweater etc etc. And I feel very Craft Lonely these days. None of my family or friends are really interested in talking "shop" with me.... But everytime I go to Michaels for supplies the place is packed, so there must be other crafty people out there.... Whoever you are, why dont I know you!!! Okay, heres my personal ad, all responses in the comments please and I promise to call you back! LOL
