I suppose I'm crafty. I like to design and create pretty things.
I guess that makes me a 'crafter'.
I don't consider myself an artist...it's weird. Kind of like, how it's weird to call myself a woman.
I suppose I'm both of those... an artist and a woman. But I just think of myself as a crafty girl. just do.
Anyhow, I was creating something today. A little gifty item - a fancy little fabulous pillow that I imagine on a princess bed or her reading chair.

It's not even finished yet and I secretly hope it won't sell. It's cute. It would look really cute on my princess girls bed and her reading chair. Not that I don't have yards of materials to create a new one.

As I was sewing tonight I thought of the sewing that took place on my darling's face last week.
Somehow (during the procedure) the 'crafting' topic came up between he doctor, the patient and the nurse - all men. I wasn't there but I imagine the conversation went something like this...
I take this teenie tiny thread, which is 4 times thinner than the hair on your head and put you back together.
That's amazing doc, I presume I will still be able to pursue my dreams of becoming an Old Spice model.
Absolutely. I'm a skilled surgeon with these tools. It's an art really, sewing you back together.
My wife is an artist... or rather a crafter, as she would say. She likes to sew.
She should give these a try, really, they are the best.
What's that ? ?... it's so quiet. I'm not used to quiet sewing. It usually hums me to sleep and I can still hear it at 1 or sometimes 2 in the morning while I toss and turn in my empty bed.
We're all finished here.
I am welcomed back into the room. I was given care instructions, prescriptions and doctors orders for follow-up. As the nurse was exiting, he placed a concealed item in my hand.
He made eye contact and said 'I never saw you take these'. I quickly tucked my hand behind my back.
As soon as we were alone... I peeked.
It was a gift... for a crafter

He tells me they are some of the best scissors for crafts.
Awesome... and um, thank you.
These are used. Used to put my husbands chin back together.
While I appreciate the gesture, they will be put in a special place. With the tiny shriveled up umbilical cords, +HPT's with urine on them, bloody little circle band-aids with the date of immunizations and some cradle cap... kidding about that last one.
