Trying out new things is part of life, and so is crafting.
If the kids try out making a different boysenberry tart recipe, they do a new thing. If your cousin tries knitting some socks, he does a new thing.
So crafting definitely is a new thing.
I, too, tried out doing new things.
For example, I'm learning how to create HTML codes.
It's of course really hard at first, always getting the steps wrong and somehow you get frustrated in the middle of progress, but it's always worth it.
Maybe you know this already (of course you do).
But, you should not only know it, but understand it.
And that's what crafting is all about.
So come on; get off of the computer chair and go...do a new thing!
