I have been watching a few crafting programmes on Sky recently and feel so depressed by what I am seeing. So many of the crafting kits that are demonstrated or sold on tv are pushed as being "easy" and "crafting with little or no effort required". I think that this totally defeats the purpose of crafting itself. Crafting is not something that needs to be done and dusted in record time. Shouldn't craft making take time and effort because we enjoy being creative? It is exactly the care and effort that is required that makes us all enjoy crafting.
Don't get me started on those endless CDROMs.........
