For me, canning and crafting are both creative activities.
Canning
Canning is as much science as it is kitchen art. I strongly believe that the act of preserving food at home and creating something in the kitchen that tastes good and extends the season is very satisfying.

Crafting
When I'm focused on creating something beautiful, my mind has the opportunity to rest and relieves stress. Also, I feel a sense of accomplishment when I admire my creation and the hard work that went into it.
Not only I have fun making crafts but also serve a purpose like home decor or adorable homemade gifts.
Anything handmade these days is regarded as special.
“An artist is someone who produces
things that people don't need to have but that he -
for some reason -
thinks it
would be a good idea to give them.”
― Andy Warhol
