Do you like doing crafts? I have tried many. I once went all out on card making, I bought myself the blank cards and envelopes, a die cutting machine, stamps, pens embellishments and I made 2 cards before I realised it just wasn’t my thing. I did enjoy it but it took up so much space. Being disabled it was difficult even cleaning up let alone making them. So, no, not for me.
I started to do crochet and picked it up easily. I made cats for my girls and a big dragon hat for my nephew, I made dozens of scarves and blankets in all sorts of stitches and sizes. I made hats and even had a go at amigurumi which is everything in smaller sizes (basically.) I still crochet occasionally but my hands hurt a lot now.
Doing something crafty does help you feel relaxed (not card making, that made me very stressed and oh the mess!) And I loved doing crafts with my kids. Just take a look on my other blog a lot of my earlier posts I’m doing crafts with my kids, like this space craft with my son, or even these cute bugs crafts.
Adults Can Craft Too!
The Craftiosity box offers a different craft every month so you can do different crafts and maybe find something you love. I made this mirror with my box, it’s not brilliant but it was an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours and I like working with Fimo.
At the moment you can join Craftiosity with a discount code LOVECRAFTING15 for 15% off your first box, but hurry there’s only a few days left. You could get this lovely pin cushion.
