How do you know when you have become totally obsessed with craft, and making things? There might be a top ten list of symptoms to look out for, but which one is most important? The appearance of which one indicates the point of no return?

I have three that I would like to offer up at least as contenders to join the list:

• Just like a toddler, you're more interested in the wrapping paper and its many possibilities than the present inside.
• You see you daughter's new t-shirt covered with lots of funky buttons and already you are working out how long it will be before she's grown out of it so you can harvest those buttons...
• Rather than admiring the awe-inspiring view you're focussing your camera on an odd shaped stone on the path.
