Love this! Even just saying 'I'm an artist' or 'I'm a writer' makes you feel different about doing artistic work on your own. And very happy you were wearing my t shirt!!

Thank you writing this, and reminding me that I might not do art "properly", I'm an artist because I enjoy doing it. I am an artist.

Love this Ab, there’s something powerful in crafting, it’s like a processing communication tool, am a massive fan. I too struggle using the term artist. Thanks for the words! Xx

Thanks Kate! I still have Xmas decs you gave me from your craft group - beautiful little goat and a glass angel too! I’m currently living my words… repaired two jumpers this morning and finished off some candlestick holders. What a lovely morning. Hope you’re having a crafty weekend in some way too! xx
