Do you have a craft widower in your life?

You know, that guy who you live with?

The one who always has to step over your pile of fabric as it slowly creeps along the floor?

Who has to clear a space on the table every time he wants to use it because it’s covered in your beads/paper/yarn?

Who brings you a cup of hot beverage when you’re working away…

Who bemoans the amount of time you spend online – claiming you spend more time chatting on Twitter than you do talking to him?

Well, he needs to know he’s not alone. This is an ode – and a thank you – to all those craft widowers who put up with our mess, our distraction, our strange obsessions…

You know we still love you, and we’ll come to bed soon…

…right after we finish this last listing…

This is my craft widower… and boy, does he take it with good grace. The amount of tea he has made me over the years has to truly be without measure.

I guess I should call Gobbolino (cat of a thousand names) my crafty orphan, too. Many has been the time he’s come over to me and I’ve been too busy on the computer to pay him any attention. Not that that’s stopped him getting it, mind you. I’m sure your fur-kids or real kids have the same attitude…

What does your crafty widower do for you when you’re in your creative headspace?

Or – what does he NOT do that you’d like him to?

(P.S. – if you’re a crafty guy and have a craft widow in your life… we’d love to hear from you, too!)
