I Craft Because...

Why I Love Crafting

Traci Niklas
I craft because....

It makes me feel accomplished each day.
It gives me constant opportunity to learn new things.
It lets me use my creativity and gives it form.
It gives me an opportunity to create one of a kind gifts.
It lets me create gifts specifically for the intended recipient, the whole while thinking of them and spending time doing something nice for them.
It helps me meet others that love to create, crochet, sew, sculpt, costume and make soaps.
It lets my love for learning grow every day.
It tells me that I have the ability to take materials and create something that makes people happy.
It is a great way to show someone you are thinking of them and care for them.
It is a way to get the clothes you want, the way you want, the colors and sizes you want that are never "off the rack".
It is, in it's simplest sense, a feeling of creation that can live on for generations.
It is joy.

I've lived in Columbus since birth and have been a part of many local theatre and gaming groups. I love crafting and have been known to sculpt, write, sew, make cloth jointed dolls and medieval costuming.  View profile
