Why I Love to Craft

Woodworking: "The feel of the wood, the smells and the satisfaction of knowing what was once a living tree will live forever as a beautiful piece of furniture." Brian
Writing: "I love writing because it opens doors to even the farthest reaches of your imagination, while providing a form of artistic self expression that can easily be altered and updated no matter how much time passes. It's more than the freedom of reading because you become your own author, and you decide the fate of the world you have created." Jonathan
Scrapbooking: "Scrapbooking is amazing because not only does it take up a lot of free time, I get to actually do something artsy that I'm good at and will benefit from when I am old and senile." Amanda
Photography: " I love to capture children's faces and while at play. I enjoy taking photo's of the seasons with all the rich colours of the autumn and the fresh green leaves of the trees for spring, even the white white snow (wich is not my fave season) but it does bring beautiful photo's. Last but not least, summer, when everything is bright and cheery." Christine
Crochet: "I love everything about it." Suzy
Silk ribbon embroidery:" I love how with just a few stitches there is a beautiful flower." Suzy
Quilting: "I do mostly patchwork, binding is my favorite part, it is so relaxing and near the end of something you are very proud of." Suzy
