My kids were never allowed to craft outside of their rooms and I still had little pieces of cut paper, glitter, thread, yarn, and drops of paint everywhere. It was like a mudslide starting in the doorway to their rooms and spread out thinner but wider as you moved through the house. I loved that they were creative, and I always encouraged it, but I hated cleaning it up.

Lol, I’ve done the opposite. I was banned from crafting upstairs because it makes a mess. We have an unfinished basement, so I usually work down there for sewing and stuff. But I still crochet upstairs cause it doesn’t make a huge mess.

That made me gasp. My Jerry stopped his show to see if I was ok. He even thought it was cruel. I guess you will learn to not get in trouble now? I had one child that learned from mistakes. Not so much the rest …

When my family changed from a big church to a smaller one, my parents told me to stop crocheting in the service because they thought it was more obvious and didn’t seem respectful. That didn’t last long. 
I told everyone that commented that I could concentrate better if I was using my hands (which is kinda true). Then some old ladies thought it was such a great idea they started doing it too, so I’m off the hook.

Haha yesss. As a homeschooler, I can definitely concentrate better on my lessons (for lecture ones) when I’m crocheting.

It’s only when I use chenille yarn and I’m sewing or something or if I just tug at it a bit too tight
