I'm trying to make a list of this, but first I want to mention I just discovered an interesting activity. After an on-line search and some friends' recommendations I can say SEWING is pretty interesting, and it helps me with patience cause I'm a little to speedy in everything.
This Boho sew kit, which I just bought from Barn&Nobles, is interesting...Some say boho goes as far back as the nomadic gypsy of India, whose style spread through Europe - especially France, and eventually made its way to America, where it was picked up by the hippie movement of the '60s and '70s. Boho has never really gone out of fashion and remains floaty and free-fitting with exotic elements.
Generally associated with creative folks, and artists, boho design from an embroidery point of view features an abundance of satin stitch. But the beauty of hand over machine embroidery is that you're able to use many more interesting stitches to create the designs.
As with anything you do, ENJOYING the process is the KEY: if you are having fun, you'll keep doing it. And naturally the more embroidery you do, the better you'll become. If you like a challenge and striving for perfect stitching is part of the fun for you, there are a few things you can do to make it not only easier to feel satisfied with your embroidery but also help you improve over time.
Try doing your embroidery work in a few different locations - on the couch or in an armchair, at a table or desk- to see where you're most comfortable. Take note of your posture; try to sit in such a way that you minimize the strain on your neck, back, and shoulders. Most of all, keep having fun.
An idea...of where you can apply some of your designs!!!
Did you ever think about what to do with certain random things lying around the house after you have used them and you have no use for them anymore? Did you ever think that you can reuse some things to create other things? A home decor object, a gift, something practical...with ARTS and CRAFT you can use all your imagination to create things.
For example, STRING ART; results achieved can be simply stunning. It's a craft the whole family can get involved with. You can create a collection of easy projects including Hearts, Kids Names, even a "Home Sweet Home" sign to name a few.
Don't throw out you're old magazines! Surprisingly, there are tons of crafts you can make with colorful & glossy pages of magazines. So, if you've got a few in your home, turn them into something beautiful! Have fun crafting and creating!!
If you've been wondering what to do with all those random pins and button badges in a box, this can be an project for you!
A very popular activity among some has been... COLORING books!!! Which is a pretty relaxing activity...I recommend it!!
I was thinking what to do with my wedding accessories and then I found some ideas with the SHADOWBOX, which I think is a great option because you can keep everything together and it's also nice to see as home decor or to keep as a nice memory.
I really want to start doing a RECYCLE CRAFT project for my home because I think it's important. If you can and you have the ideas, don't throw everything but maybe reinvent the objects. The result? An eco-friendly lifestyle. Here I have some ideas:
Then you can invite your friends over and do a puzzle together. Put it in a frame after you guys are finished!!
You can have a lot of fun and enjoy many creative activities...Just use your imagination and bring your friends together!!!! HAVE FUN!!!
