My biggest reason for whatever my current crafting passion is, and it has varied from the 1960s to present day, is that it may be just as expensive as medication (depression, muscle relaxants, etc) but a lot more fun and fulfilling. Fabric in its various forms has a very calming effect for me plus I have never had anyone gush such love over a one of a million store bought gifts as they do over one of a kind handmade item. Unless I am incapacitated I will continue and tailor my projects to my situations.
