By definition, a craft is "an activity involving skill in making things by hand" a "skill in planning, making, or executing." I don't particularly care for the word "craft," just because of the images it conjures. I like to think of myself as an artist, but I must concede I am a craftsman: a person whose occupation requires skill with the hands. (I realize craftsman is not politically correct. I'm a woman. But I think craftwoman just sounds silly.)
A simple search reveals, "art forms move people on an emotional level whereas crafts attract people." My desire is to create a site which does more than attract people. While I hope to use this site to help others hone the skills and techniques in crocheting, I also hope to inspire the way of a simpler life: a quieter, slower, more tranquil life.
So sit back and relax. Put your feet up, grab your favorite yarn and hook, and let's create something beautiful.
