Discover Why I Love Crafting
Crafting is something I have enjoyed for as long as I can remember. It is an outlet for creativity, a way to give joy, and a social connection. At Crafted by Mimi, I want to share my creativity with others, and find pleasure in encouraging those I teach to discover an outlet for their creative side. There is an undeniable joy in crafting a card, scrapbook, or other hand-made gift, but the most joyful moment is when you give your creation to someone and it brightens their day. Sharing the joy and friendship of crafting is a thrill all its own. The more people sitting around the table, sharing ideas and laughter, the more fun is had by all. I think this is especially true with hand-made gifts like cards and scrapbooks.
Crafting has numerous forms, from sewing and painting, to crocheting and papercrafting. And that’s just the beginning! I have enjoyed learning each of these forms of creative expression, and I want to share my experience with others. This brings me joy because I get to meet new people, share my successes and lessons, and witness the joy others experience creating a gift for someone they love.
When my daughter was born I started sewing and have kept it up for 40 years. Scrapbooking became important to me 16 years ago when my grandson was born. I wanted to be the storyteller in my family and keep the memories alive. Stamping and card making followed close behind and I feel that I'm sending a part of me in each envelope.
So much of what I do at Crafted by Mimi makes my corner of the world a brighter place. Join my friends and I at one of our next classes or club meetings and you’ll soon agree that crafting with your hands makes for joy filled hearts. As you can see, I really do love it all.
Now you know what motivates me to teach, and why I love crafting. So, contact me about joining in the fun.

Do you love crafting?
Are you a crafter? I personally love crafting. There’s something very calming about working with my hands, and I love the final product. I always wish I did more crafting than I actually do. Knitting and needlepoint are my two favorite crafty hobbies. I wish I could crochet and make jewelry. And I’d really like to get more into sewing again 
I sometimes dream of being good enough at crafting to open up my own little Etsy shop or farmer’s market stall. The life of a professional crafter seems glamorous to me, especially when I’ve been spending too much time on my computer. I believe that it is very important for us to do work with our hands – from gardening to writing to cooking. And definitely crafting! I’m afraid that nothing I make is really that unique, but I still enjoy the process. I enjoy giving away handmade goods made with love, even if they aren’t going to turn heads or end up on Pinterest.
Right now I’m working on a warm wool cowl for Mr. Blogthings, as we are going to be in a very cold place next weekend. It’s something nice to do while I catch up with my favorite shows on Netflix. Anyone else a huge crafter while watching online shows addict? Are you working on anything fun, crafting wise?
Anyway, if you like crafting, or even if you’re just crafting curious, you should take my quiz – What Crafty Hobby Should You Take Up? Then please comment below and tell me which crafty hobby you should take up – and which one you do, if any. I have a feeling that quiz takers are also a pretty crafty bunch, so let me know what sort of creative things you do.
