From the Pinks and Needles Etsy shop, this one enchanted me! (So much so that I blogged it twice.) Swoon!

Crafty

Have ya noticed?  There’s a distinct lack of craft on any Drewzelblog right now.  I first started my blog in early 2006, just for fun.  I was a crap blogger, I hardly posted, didn’t read anyone else’s much and didn’t really care.  Then I got really. involved. in. crafting. stuff.  Good ol’ craft as therapy.  So as I made stuff, I put pics on Flickr, wrote blog posts about it.  But now I feel like I done a circle and I’m back to non-crafting posts again.  Not because I don’t love craft or don’t make stuff.  Because I’m still going strong.  But it’s become so ingrained and a part of what I do with my time, that I don’t even consider it remarkable any more.  Does this mean the novelty has worn off?  Or have I achieved Granny craftdom, where all my friends and family know it’s just something I do, like the gardening, or cuddling doggies?  Super-creative types might think I’m stagnating, and not pushing myself to achieve more.  But I can say, that with my various exploits (thanks Pip for giving my bags a go, thanks Leeloo for believing in a Bird Mad Girl) I’m in a happy crafting place.  And I think that’s quite remarkable.
