Rest is Productive

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.

Often I have heard rest only happen when it is absolutely necessary, and often, frankly, too late. Please don’t wait to rest. Block time to rest so you can be recharged especially with those you love.

Happy Crafting!

Being Present

It’s Friendship Friday! This is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

As I looked online to get new ideas for giving back I was a little appalled at what I saw. When you google giving back you will see pages and pages of non-profit organizations asking for money. I don’t feel that giving back is always about money.

Giving back should be about being present. You should be fully in the moment and have positive energy to bring in to help. Now sometimes that involves monetary donations, but not always. I wish we could get away from tying someone’s value to their bank account.

Some of the most precious memories to me were of my grandparents. They didn’t spend a ton of money on me but they spent time. They taught me how to cook, how to maintain a pool, how to…and the list goes on. Many of the skills I learned from them I still use today.

So if you don’t have a ton of money but you do have knowledge to pass down please do.

Happy Crafting!

Post Your Creation(s)

It’s Thumbtack Thursday! Today is the day that you share your favorite card or project you have created. Something you have made that you deem worthy of putting up on the board. So share with everyone what you are putting the proverbial thumbtack in to show.

Happy Crafting!

Paper for a Necklace

How to Get All of the Glue

It’s Technique Tuesday! Today is more of a tip than a technique.

Have you ever been working on a huge project and your glue starts to run out? Well, instead of fighting the bottle, just cut it in half. Use a paint brush, dauber, toothpick, q-tip, or any other tool to get that glue applied.

Happy Crafting!

How to Value Time

It’s Sabbath Sunday! This is the day to rest so you can be recharged for the week.

I was scrolling through as many of us do and came across this great quote.

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you won’t do anything with it.

M. Scott Peck

This has been so true for me. Does this ring true for you as well?

Happy Crafting!

Warm Up America

It’s Friendship Friday! Today is the day to focus on giving back or paying it forward.

I just recently came across an organization called Warm Up America. And here is their mission statement.

We are a national nonprofit that since 1991 has provided hand knitted and crocheted blankets, clothing and accessories made by volunteers across the country and donated to people in need.

I don’t think much else needs to be said. So if you would like to learn more or to get involved please go to https://warmupamerica.org/.

Happy Crafting!
