Creative Thought of the Day - 7/31/09

Inspiration is not just some flight of fancy. It is the air you breathe; the water you gulp down when you are thirsty; the bread that fills your belly. The process and products of your creative work will feed your soul, if you let them.

Craft Night

Starting this past March the Craft & Hobby Association is challenging individuals and families to take the Craft Night Pledge of crafting one night a week with your friends and family. By participating in just one craft per week, people can enjoy the financial and social as well as the emotional and extrinsic benefits of crafting - including a sense of accomplishment, memory keeping, relaxation, and spending time with family and friends.


CHA developed the Craft Night Pledge to support individuals and families in this regard CHA also has provided a Flickr site where you can share your inspiring crafting photos.
