I think most of these 'crafty' type things have died off because cheap, mass produced imports from china make home made a bit pointless. I know a pressed flower with meaning is different, but when you can get something that looks good at first glance and costs pennies you start to think 'why bother'? Also, we can amuse ourselves with non-stop tv, movies, computer games, social media - you start to lose patience for what starts to seem like pointless hobbies that take too much patience.
I used to love crafts as a child - nothing made me happier. Yet nowadays it's hard to apply myself. Always I end up thinking 'what's the point?'. I'd like to get over that and get back to these little craft projects.
