The long dark tea-time of the soul day 32.

Tuesday.

We were going to venture into town today but, we had company, so we will go tomorrow all being well. Kev managed to get what washing there was done late afternoon. 

Lauren decided to have a crafty day with me so, we sat doing our respective projects and watching Dyan"s day by day videos. 

It was nice for Kev as it gave him some much needed time out from keeping me company all day. Yes he was on hand for me if I needed the loo or drinks etc, but it meant he could have some time to play on his Xbox. 

It was nice for me too, to have someone who has a passion for crafting to understand what I'm babbling on about, instead of looking blank when I mention an artist or product. Also nice to have someone willing to learn something without thinking they know everything. It's a crafting downfall that we get a bit blinkered and think the products we use or the projects we do are the only ones out there. We all find what's right for us, don't get me wrong, but I like it when someone new to crafting is a bit more open about what they use  is willing to try different stuff. I know what works for me but I will still try new ideas and products, so long as I get the desired effect. Im in the lucky position that I craft for me when I want to, I make cards only for Charlotte other than myself and I'm not tied down to creating for others in a commercial sense. I'm just grateful for my Dyalogs and journals etc as they are just for me. If no one else gets it, that's ok. I get it and that's all that matters.
