Star excited with boat's decorative design (4,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
arts and crafts
'design' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'star excited with boat's decorative' is the wordplay.
'excited' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' becomes 'and' (I've seen this before).
'boat's decorative' becomes 'crafts' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'star' with letters rearranged gives 'arts'.
'arts'+'and'+'crafts'='ARTS AND CRAFTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arts and crafts that I've seen before include "movement in design" , "Movement devoted to the creation and decoration by hand of useful objects" .)
