Attention to Detail: Small Details Matter and Can Affect the Overall Outcome in Both Life and Crochet

In a world that often celebrates big, bold moves, the importance of small details can sometimes be overlooked. Yet, it’s these tiny, seemingly insignificant elements that often hold the key to success, both in life and in crochet.

I have encountered the issue where I can’t discern between the dark browns. My partner can, but as soon as I lay down a new dark next to a dark colour I have no idea which area needs a second coat. 😖

Hay fever has finally knocked me for six.

The pollen is so strong I can't seem to bare it.

So Marmalade & I are camped out on my bed with the air purifier on. I'm getting on with my knitting & my magazine @witchesmagazine arrived this morning so a bit of reading too.

If you've called enquiring about treatments I haven't forgotten to call you back or email you, I'm just feeling a bit rotten today so it's a #selfcare

Day. Hopefully tomorrow will be back getting on with fleece sorting, washing & spinning.

Hope your all having a great day.

What are you up to today?

I was trying to sleep but gave up quite quickly and decided to make this ring instead. I don’t think it’s technology that keeps me awake at night but shiny gemstones and wire by my bed 😂 I will get some better pics of the citrine tomorrow in the daylight ☀️ #toriastrinkets #girlboss #makersgonnamake #buybritish #buyhandmade #citrine #handmadejewellery #citrinering #handmadelove #craftsposure #mindfulcrafting (at Weston, Stoke-On-Trent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoxFKhyhRfs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g0r5c2r0uvlz

I came across this article in Martha Stewart magazine Dec2020 edition. The article highlights the mental and well-being benefits for crafting and making things by hand.

I started hand embroidery with ‘just because’. Just because I like it, just because I enjoy doing it, and just because I truly enjoy the feeling of thread and needle against my fingers. I also enjoy the freedom it gives me, because I can make things the way I want it to be, with my own hands.

I’m thrilled to find that there are more research out there to highlight how making things by hand helps to boost our mental and emotional well being. I personally experience what was mentioned in the article; doing hand embroidery helps me to tune out my negative thoughts, worries and anxiety. It certainly helps me go through the difficult days during this #stayathome period.

More and more reasons to keep making things, to keep doing hand embroidery.

Our Lanterns are made from old tin, iron or aluminum cans and are all hand punched with a hammer and a dart. The undenting process is the "aggressive" part of creating Lanterns but it works in a therapeutic way, for young and old. ⁠The process of turning something old, dicarded, into something you created yourself, something beautiful, is part of a Mindful creation. ⁠ The steps are:⁠ Prep can⁠ Draw design⁠ Punch Holes⁠ Undent can⁠ Spray paint can⁠ Enjoy your finished product ⁠ ⁠ The mindful process are waves of excitement and focus with a touch of meditation without even knowing it. But it always ends in these kinds of beautiful smiles.⁠ ⁠ For more information visit www.2ndlifecuracao.org⁠ ⁠ #supportlocal #sustainableliving #create #recycled #art #reduce #reuse #recycle #upcycle #creator #crafter #DIY #artisan #lanternmaking #recycledlanterns #childrenwhocraft #girlswhocraft#mindfulcrafting #Immtribe #curacao #korsou #caribbeancrafters #fromcraptocraft #werecyclelife #YDK #5999 #forthearts #ByTRP https://www.instagram.com/p/B0nvtK5AXCj/?igshid=ovu443qnmwst
