So that leaves the August Rosehill one, and the June Darling Harbour craft show.<\/p>\n<p>I guess its not that bad really. After all, in recent times its been more and more taken over by paper crafts which aren&#8217;t quite my cup of tea. Sometimes I wonder why its called the Stitches and Craft show, because there don&#8217;t seem to be many &#8220;stitches&#8221; on show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It seems that more and more, people are wanting less and less. That is, to put in less and less effort. For me creativity is about working on a project that takes time and an investment of effort. I am not usually one who will whip something up in an afternoon (though it can be rather liberating to do this occasionally!). <\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;m rather out of sync with much of the rest of the crafting population in this. I am happy to do time-consuming, finicky, attention to detail, in depth projects, whereas on the basis of what is being promoted at many craft shows these days, many others are not. Hmm&#8230; just some musings&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not meaning that I am in any way &#8220;better&#8221; than those who want &#8220;quick&#8221;, because to be realistic, that&#8217;s how many people start their journey into crafting. But I just hope some of those people will move on from their diet of milk, and onto solids, in good time. I hope that they move from the quick and easy onto the slow, laborious and highly rewarding, more highly skilled areas of the craft world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was planning to meet up with a friend at the February craft show at Rosehill in Sydney.
