When we make time to craft and create we are making time for ourselves.

As a matter of fact, it is a scientific fact that in doing the creative things we love we’ll improve our brains, mental health, and physical health – without a single squat or a crunch! Hello, skinny jeans!

Unfortunately, time doesn't just materialize. So, how do we make time?  Something that works for me is to block out time for my hobbies. I also remind myself that I don't need hours of dedicated time for DIYing and crafting.

Do you know how much time you can spare? Match that time allotment to the projects below.

Project + Allotted time = HAPPY YOU!  

If you only have an hour, try making a new front door wreath. Have a whole day? Try a fun, faux painting technique. Perhaps you're looking for something different to do this weekend? Maybe try building a simple piece of furniture.

So, what do you say? Isn’t it time to learn something new or DIY something fun?

Remember, your brain, mood, and thighs depend on it!
