Given the tough economic times, we can expect more and more people to join our crafting ranks. Or those of you who are already on board with crafting, recycling, repairing and DIY-ing will probably branch out to new craft areas.Craftingis not only economical and "green"; it can be wholesome fun for the whole family, educational for the kids and a wonderful stress reliever. You can even craft for profit. So let's welcome all the newbies, converts and crossovers with welcome arms.
Here's a challenge for March. Think of someone in your life who could use a little pick-me-up. Either make something for them or give them the longer-lasting gift of teaching them a craft. Remember the saying, "Give a man a fish; feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish; feed him for life."
My friend Chloe did a terrific post titled, 10 Reasons Why Sewing is Good for you and for the Economy. Whatever your craft love, substitute "that phrase" wherever Chloe says "sewing". Chloe, thanks for pointing out the silver lining!
I'm so glad my post was inspirational :-) I prefer to look on the bright side of things - and if sewing & crafting can be a positive thing - why not have fun with them!
ReplyDeleteHear hear, Chloe! I love your attitude.
