To all dispersed sorts of arts and trades I write the needles prayse (that never fades). So long as children shall be got or borne, So long as garments shall be made or worne, So long as hemp or flax, or sheep shall bear Their linen woolen fleeces yeare by yeare, So long as silk-wormes, with exhaused spoile, Of their own entrails for man's gaine shall toyle, Yea till the world be quite dissolv'd and past, So long at least, the needles' use shall last. By John Taylor (1580-1653)

A CRAFTER'S POEM
Crafts are here, crafts are there.My craft supplies are everywhere. I really should clean this mess, But I like it, I must confess. Floor is littered, chairs are piled, Kitchen’s looking pretty wild. On the table counter too, Seems that any place will do.Hall is stacked with cartons high, Filled with things folks like to buy. Garage is full, but so far… There’s still room to park the car. never have an idle day, New ideas come my way. Don’t know yet what I’ll create, But at least my imagination’s great. My family smiles, they don’t complain, Although at times I know I'm a pain. But when all is said and done, I really am a crafty one !!!!
