You Might be a Primitive Folk Artist if:

As I was doing dishes the other night, I got to thinking about all the tell-tale signs of my artistry that exist in every room of my house, (even though the government only lets me take a certain percentage of the house expenses as a business tax deduction.)  You know doing dishes can be rather tedious, so my mind kept me entertained as I contemplated, aka Jeff Foxworthy:
YOU MIGHT BE A PRIMITIVE FOLK ARTIST IF:
  • Your food dehydrator has never been used to dry actual food. 
  • There's always a bowl/ pot of coffee/ tea dye water sitting on your counter or stove.
  • You can never throw away any fabric scraps because "it might come in handy." (You can always use them for stuffing if nothing else!)
  • Your family's forbidden to throw away any old thing into the trash can until you've evaluated its possibilities. 
  • If bumper stickers were still in style, yours would read: I BRAKE FOR FLEA MARKETS, ANTIQUE/ THRIFT/ JUNK STORES & GARAGE SALES!!!
  • When you go for a walk outside, you come back inside with your pockets full of nature's offerings that you plan to incorporate into your work. 
  • People bring you bags of cast-offs because they know you'll think of something to do with them. 
I could go on, but you get the idea.
 Feel free to add more of your own if you take a notion!
