workshops: an idea

so i am sitting in my in-laws place right now. and i just thought

about something. i really enjoy doing crafts. but more and more

my heart is yearning for something bigger. crafts are fun & i really 

enjoy doing them cos i'm usually making things for other people. 

but in the last couple weeks, i've helped adam with his community

project 'cumulus clouds', creating things with packaging peanuts

and this past saturday, i ran a little workshop with tuli at the 

alliance church's christmas fete. we had a make your own 

christmas card & decorate your own christmas cookie. and it 

all reminded me of the things i love about workshops. 

the generosity in combining resources. the community that

is built by creating beautiful things. the encouragement you get as 

you go. crafting can be so lonely..which i (with my personality type)

don't seem to mind. but i think my desire for community outweighs 

any personal desire to spend time alone making 'the perfect card' or

'the perfect gift'.

i've got so many ideas floating through my brain right now.....
