I wonder if book writing and illustrating would be considered "crafts"? Those are my current projects

I would say yes. Things that are creative would seem to me to fall into the category.

I used to tole paint for about 15 years. I haven't picked up my brush for several years now. I had a small wholesale business and sold to folk art stores all over the U.S. It was a fun till I got hit with 'burn-out'.

I write, but to be honest with you, I write stories 4, 5 even 6 times before I "finalize" it. I'm not a very good writer, as you can probably tell from this forum, so to write a story the right way I have to do it over several times (in outline).

Well I don't do many crafty things, but I do paint ceramics, and make bird toys. Once in a while I will do cross stich, but not very often any more.

The best writers in the world re-write, re-write and re-write again. That's why they're the best. It sounds to me like you're doing it right.

Really? hm. Now I don't feel so dumb. I thought it was just me, seriously.

Yes Pape ceramics are a craft . I don't do many crafty things. Those are pretty much the excent of my crafty ideas. I did get a new idea to use with the bird toys. I need to remember to get the stuff to try it next time I'm in the store. Thanks for the complement Pape on the bird toys. I've been thinking about putting a few on Ebay, once I have the supplies built back up.
