Welcome to......Creating Crafty Things! What is Creating Crafty Things you ask....well, it is a place where crafty people come together as a community. Swap ideas, support and encourage, and have fun. I started Creating Crafty Things because crafting is a BIG part of my life. One of the reasons is because I discovered crafting helps with mindfulness. If you are familiar with mindfulness and what it is, you will know what I mean. If you don't, mindfulness is something I practice when I am feeling depressed. I am in recovery mode everyday. If I can help one person understand or find their own mindfulness, that is a great step forward. The other reason why I started Creating Crafty Things is because of my Grandma. Ever since I was a little girl she was the one that got me interested in crafts. The picture was taken at my Grandma's house. I'm not sure how old I am, but I made the Christmas tree out of pipe cleaners, styrofoam and hand-made paper ornament
Create & Craft! I started Creating Crafty Things to keep my mind busy during a rough patch in my life, dealing with depression. During some classes & meetings I learned having a mindful habit in your life helps with keeping your mind on what you are doing. That is when I decided I wanted to share this with everyone - depression or not.
