Producing Craft

Spent the day at the Titirangi Mother's craft market today. It's odd to reflect on some much craft in one room. Why are we inclined to make these things. I never question or doubt the impulse and desire to create: it just feels so RIGHT and so real to me. But then I catch myself wondering whether the other things I get up to in life are as worthy of my time. Reading for example always seems to take the back foot and is something I do 'when I have the time to' whereas creating and pursuing creative ideas is a process so fundamentally part of me, I don't question it, and nor would I ever WANT to. However, it's all got me wondering why this desire is so intense and empowering; when I make stuff I am energized and excited about life, but am I really making a difference, or just a stock-pile of material goods?
