There's something about crafting that has an almost therapeutic effect on me - forces me to sit down and focus on creating something with my hands; something which I won't otherwise be doing in my normal everyday life. It brings me back to a simpler time; way before writing emails and spending countless hours in front of the computer started to muddle with my brain.
Or maybe its just my creative side trying to peek out; after years of being pushed aside to free up time so that I could complete other more "pressing" things.
While there are still many other "pressing" things to do; I was able to complete two DIYs recently. The first was a simple paper banner that was inspired by this video. Although they used fabric for the flags, using paper was much easier and they turned out equally cute.
The other project was a skirt refashioned from a vintage maternity romper that was way too huge to be sold. I liked the little floral prints on the fabric so why let it go to waste?
This was a pretty challenging one for me since I don't have much sewing skills but I'm hoping to get better at it! I think I'm going to add that to my 2012 to-do list.
Hope you've started thinking of new year resolutions!
