Why Do You Craft?

Whycraft.com is a site where you can share your inspiration for crafting...

Look at the awesome package I received in the post the other day! I'd completely forgotten about this so it was a happy surprise for me. Whycraft.com is a cool site where you can see short notes people have left explaining why they craft. You can also add your own note about why you craft. 

This is what they say about it...
"It's open-ended and you can say just about anything. Whycraft.com lets you make as many posts of up to 200 characters as you would like.
From crocheting to carpentry, craft is not exclusive—the possibilities are endless, and you have something to say…"

“I craft because I can't imagine not making things with my own two hands. It opens my mind and frees my creativity in a way that can't be done on the computer. And in the end, I have a tangible object!”
Amy Peck / Sewing, etc.

“I find flow in Craft. It offers a mind/body connection not available through digital work. "Disconnect," "unplug," whatever you call it - there is a mediative energy in creating with your hands.”

Sarah Rutherford / Letterpress

“I craft as a release. With a high-stress job in a high-stress world, there just aren't many ways to relax without feeling guilty. As I craft, I know I'm being productive and that's satisfying.”
