How to create a craft day each week

Having a craft day is spectacular. In addition, it just takes away all the stress from the week as you relax into the rhythm of your craft making, whatever that may be. 

Step one in creating a craft day

Choose a day that will be the same day each week that you will devote to craft. You want to set the same day each week so you know in your mind, if you hadn’t been able to craft during the week that you have a whole day set aside just for craft. 

Step two in creating a craft day

Allocate either a half day or a full day. Time is precious and we have so much in our lives to do and prepare, sometimes a full day is not something time will allow. So make your craft day a half day and don’t stress that it’s not a full day. 

Step three in creating a craft day

Doing something for yourself feels amazing but also can make you feel guilty that you aren’t prioritising everything else that needs doing. So do everything else around your craft day and then when you sit down to do craft know that everything has been actioned, so you can relax. This is your time. 

Step four create a space for your craft day

If possible, make a space for your craft. This helps you get in the zone once you enter the space and know it’s your time to craft. It’s easier to just get started and you have a space dedicated to grow your craft hobbies. 

I hope you enjoy your craft day each week and reply immense yourself in your art. Happy crafting!

Crocheting my first blanket

So I decided that crocheting animals etc is pretty stressful. Not really stressful but not relaxing. A cool end result but I wanted to find something to crochet where I didn’t have to count the stitches or focus on the different type of stitches. So I decided to crochet a simple blanket.  I just wanted to use a small amount of stitches and not count them. I didn’t want to do anything fancy. But I still wanted to crochet. I believe if I could find something to stitch that I could just relax doing than it was worth it. I started googling a simply blanket planet using single crochet stitch. And I found one. It’s simple start off with the first row with a chain stitch and then turn it over and do the rest with a single crochet stitch. Brilliant. So I started crocheting a baby blanket. It didn’t work out. The sides were uneven and the blanket was all different lengths. So I googled and realised after I do a row of single crochet stitches, I have to do one chain stitch at the end before ...

Paint by numbers revival

  For a few years, a few years ago (lol), I did some paint by numbers. I really enjoyed the painting and the end result looks amazing.  I have quite a lot of hobbies now and my last two paint by numbers I never finished. I think because some of the paint had dried, because I left the painting too long at times and the other painting I just didn’t enjoy the picture, so they didn’t get completed. I then got distracted with new hobbies such as diamond painting, which is similar to paint by numbers. With diamond painting you match the drill to the number to create a picture.  However, I have redecorated my home and put up my finished paint by numbers. So I decided to try another one. A few years ago, I had to buy the wooden frame with the canvas and build it together but now you have the option to buy a ready frame, where the company puts the frame and canvas together for you.  My most recent purchase is this beautiful image:  If you are interested, please find the ...
