Today was a good day for deliveries, I had my Dyalog bundle from Art from the Heart. So come Friday I can start, I had the collage sheets too and the dolls house stuff ready for when the bench for Sadie and co, comes... I finished the three-pocket page I started yesterday, with it raining it was a perfect day for Kev to bake bread and make a veg cottage pie.
I watched the Dyan day by day class and Kirstie Allsop's Keep Calm and Craft, as well as Soapbox Race and Sewing Bee, Wednesday is one of the better days for the telly. I'm sure Willow would agree as it means she gets to snuggle on my knee while I watch.
We were saying, yesterday that we hope some people who have started crafts and hobbies because of this lockdown continue with them afterwards, because they've found something they love, or a release from the day to day pressures. I know that's how I started. When we were going through what we were in 2011 I started to try different crafts to take my mind off things. I did very basic cards, and gifts out what I could find as we had very little. But as things improved financially I started buying craft supplies and it made me happy as we couldn't afford to go out, or on holiday etc, it stopped the panic attacks and became my happy place. I hope others in this outbreak find peace and happiness in art and creative activity and have a happy place of their own. Pictures are of my other page and my dialog bundle...
