I used to be so scared of Jurassic Park, I was scared of going round corners for a while as a child out of fear that a velociraptor would be waiting for me (they had a robot Deinoychus pack at the Natural History Museum and I figured that they were actually trained performing animals and would one day follow me home).<br /><br />I think you're wrong about crafting in the USA- there are tons of crafters and some of them make very cool things. A lot of craft materials are much more affordable over there, especially fabric even accounting for the fact it's bought by the yard which is slightly smaller than the metre. However, I do think to some extent that craft is maligned in the USA and handmade stuff maybe isn't held in the same esteem that it is in other parts of the world, but this is probably systemic to a consumer culture and not just an American thing, because people over here can be very snobby about craft too.<br /><br />And don't worry about commenting too often! It's good to have some feedback once in a while.Ruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02896653669000842779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-772797935823462975.post-30846103320430384592011-11-03T05:12:39.539+00:002011-11-03T05:12:39.539+00:00I feel silly commenting on your blog so often, but...I feel silly commenting on your blog so often, but I enjoy reading about the things you make. People are not so crafty here in the US. <br /><br />I dressed as Dennis Nedry from Jurrassic Park. It was fun to be a fat person for a day. Very warm and you can bump into people with your stomach. :)<br /><br />http://flickr.com/gp/toasterpastry/RU9T1YJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049473344789178967noreply@blogger.com
