Tara Gentile at Scoutie Girl asked this question: Why do you make? This question got me to thinking about the answer. I've never really thought much about it before because I've always made. I mean, always - it's in my DNA. My mom always made stuff and so did my grandmother. My grandfather was a dairy farmer, and my Dad was an engineer. I guess he designed stuff and then made it.
As a child, I actually thought everyone was a maker, too. When I grew up, I found that wasn't the case, but that's okay. Those I know who are not makers do other cool stuff like bookeeping and teaching. In some ways, maybe that is what they make.
So, Tara, I guess this is my answer: I just make. I'm not sure how to do {be} otherwise. I'd like to know why others make, too!

Difficult question!
I think a major part of why I make is to make other people happy. To make things that make people happy. But also because I like to make things.
Happy Christmas Mary Zoom!
Happy, happy Christmas to you, too, Unni! May the New Year be filled with lots more making and also making people happy!
