Is there such a thing as pure sewing? Knitting? Crocheting? Any craft?
Thought-provoking points to ponder, as many of us busily continue to sew, knit, crochet, and do other crafts.
Let’s look up craft . . .
Craft. n. (Sax. craft, art, cunning, power, force. . . The primary sense is, to strain or stretch. Hence, strength, skill, a crying out…)
-
Art, ability, dexterity, skill.
-
Cunning, art, or skill, in a bad sense…
-
Art… dexterity in a particular manual occupation; hence, the occupation or employment itself . . .
Hm. There are positive and negative connotations here, and a broiling weekend afternoon ain’t the time for heated debate.
Particularly as this is merely rhetorical musing with a motive of submission to not one, but two three photo challenges. (he-he!)
Possibly not the purist of motives. 😉 So let’s leave it at that, shall we?
Meanwhile, I might not be the only one with a huge pile of things to mend, sew, finish off, so-o-o . . . .
Get out the ice cream (or hot toddies if you’re lucky enough to be freezing), and have a delightful weekend, everyone!

Yes, I do prefer to be cool, so I can wear more clothes. But I do understand about being to-o-o cold. You have my sympathies!

Like the hat. Sounds like you prefer cool. I could have done with more warmth this weekend.
