It Makes Sense!

I've been a "crafter" for much of my life. I learned how to knit when I was 10 or 12. But my knitting interest really took off a few years later when mohair sweaters became popular. Knitting suddenly became a USEFUL skill!

Eventually I learned crochet and quilting as well, though I always had a knitting project on the go. I've dabbled in embroidery, cross stitch, macrame, rug hooking, painting and pottery...

Like many crafters, I have as many unfinished projects as I have completed ones. It's easier to be inspired by something new than to slog on through a large project to the end.

But I recently came across this interesting thought - that it's GOOD to have a VARIETY  of interests and projects on the go at the same time - that having a CHOICE is LIBERATING...


That said, I don't want to be one of those people who always starts but never completes  anything! There is a certain satisfaction in finishing - and being SATISFIED with what is done.

(Also surprising was the term "craft psychology"! I've never heard it before... There's always more to learn!)
