What the dictionary does not say is that not everyone needs to be skilled to be crafty. I certainly do not consider myself to be skilled in anything except being blonde. (I'm really good at that.) To me, craft can be defined as anything you do with your hands, thought up in your head, and comes out of your heart. Does that take skill? Of course not, or at least doesn't HAVE to. When you have a passion to make something, that's all that matters. Whether it be sewing, writing, scrap-booking, decoupage, pyrography, baking, cooking, leather working, knitting, quilting cross-stitching or anything else you make. Don't be afraid to fail, because its about having fun, pouring your passion into something, and relaxing. So get out there and have fun for the love of crafting!
