Craft for non crafters

I find craft really easy so I'm always a little bemused by those that say they can't do it but then again I can't bake and am truly fed up with the amount of people telling me that 'as long as you follow the recipe you'll be fine' well it's not always fine and before I get into another rant of you're in for a laugh at my expense head to the post 'maker not baker' to find out more.

That said I recently taught a craft at a church event and was thrilled with how many people said they were chuffed that they had successfully crafted even though they believe they aren't craft folk -

- maybe there's hope for me as a baker yet! 

The night was a wonderful mix of cake - always a favourite- men all poshed up, it is possible; 

And craft along with testimonies of God's work in some very special ladies' lives. 

I have to admit I was incredibly nervous to start with I mean there was a church full of women!

But all of them went home with something handmade, unique and as special as each lady in the room. Some also went home with a belly full of cake but I don't see any issue with that, I'm the fatty crafter not the fitty crafter after all.

Adding a little creativity

Sometimes crafting isn't always about what you're making. Often it is just the way you arrange things; cupboards, lunch boxes... yourself?
Although the above are a little silly I hope you get my point.
In a bid not to succumb to a Sunday afternoon nap to let the awesome home cooked pie work its magic, I decided today to do a wall display, I've been meaning to do it for a while so no further to do I went in search of my husband's tools.
He was safely stowed on the sofa with headphones completely unaware of my intentions- occasionally the best way to be.
After I had selected the pictures and pieces I wanted I laid them out on my bed to get an idea of how I wanted them to look. Usually it takes a while to play with the layout but this one fell neatly into place.
Then came the banging. At this I was thankful my OH was watching his zombie programme because as the plaster started to come off the wall I feared I had made a female error of some sorts.
But then I figured 'ah well, it's off now so may as well keep going!'
Ten minutes or so later I had my finished wall. I've got one last thing I want to put up but I haven't made it yet. Will update you when I can. Although some of the things on my wall won't make sense to you, they mean the world to my husband and I. Seeing as we are the residents of the house, I guess that's all that matters.
