@Emma: Thanks! I think it’s an interesting way to trace one’s development — particularly those people who are drawn to a variety of media or seem to go through “phases” as I do.

This is a wonderful post. I think your analysis of why you were attracted to certain artistic outlets at certain times is very compelling. You’ve got my mind a-whir now with what my craft/art says about me. A future post for me, I wonder…

@Sarah — I agree with you that a lot of the “sewing” arts (quilting, etc.) involve other-thinking. We make many things for gifts. It’s always nice, too, when you can find an activity that truly feels like an escape. We all need an escape!

@Jen — I’m glad you came over to read it. I had bookmarked your essay when I read it because I wanted to stew on it and formulate a good response. Love your stuff!

I love this post! I think crafting (quilting and sewing for me) is such an amazing way to relax, be surrounded by beautiful things, and create. For me, I think it’s a way I can show love to those in my life….and its a way to sneak away (in a sense) to your own creative world.
