So I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, about my life, what matters to me the most, and where I want to see myself in a month, a year, 5 years. Some of this is undoubtedly because another birthday fast approaches, some of it is the political debates and the news about our changing world, and some of it is simply the end result of some really great conversations about possibility.

All those things and more have led me to the decision to resign my role in the Atlanta Craft Mafia.
I’m really glad Jenny asked me to be part of re-forming the ACM, and I believe very strongly in building the crafty community through organizations such as this. If nothing else, this experience made me think very seriously about what a collective can do, and how multiple voices are so much more effective than individual ones.

Unfortunately, it’s also become apparent that the things that really speak to my heart are not things which the rest of the group shares an interest in. Where I view Craft and Craftivism as two sides of the same coin, the majority of the ladies of the ACM feel the role of the organization lies in a different direction. Environmental and sustainability issues are simply not something they feel are appropriate for the group at this time.

I’m grateful for these experiences which got me thinking about the bigger picture, and gave me the confidence that I really can make a difference. However, it is also SuperCute! which gives me an outlet for these things which I feel most passionately about, and ultimately, I must follow my heart.
