The other one is, "I don't care". Both raise my ire... unless, of course, I really don't care. <BR/>Those women obviously don't know what it's like to be passion-driven.

I think hyper-critical people often presume EVERYONE is like them so are afraid to try anything new. <BR/><BR/>Pity the person who doesn't have a craft that inspires them to sit and spend "too much time". I knew a quilter (I met her at a ceramics class....)that did beautiful work. I commented that I envied her skill but didn't have the patience. She laughed at me and pointed out my counted-crosstitch shirt that she said SHE didn't have the patience for.

I especially love: "When you are an artist, ...Amen! <BR/><BR/>I especially love: "When you are an artist, creating is never about having too much free time. Artists are compelled to create, and so whatever it is - painting, gardening, writing, singing, sculpting, playing the guitar, drawing, cooking, dancing, and even blogging - that makes some sort of pause in life's drudgery, you will always attempt to do it in whatever way and time and place you can, even if it's not ideal or practical or hardly ever possible, because you have to in order to be able to breathe."Jennifer Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354196343017006168noreply@blogger.com
