I’m a little obsessed with weaving right now, which is going to show over the next few days of challenges. I love weaving because it’s so simple. You can do it with any sorts of materials, as we are going to this week. The motions are simple, repetitive, meditative. It’s something we probably all tried […]
Paint a Stick
Following in the vein of needing easy crafts that I knew I could accomplish this week, I decided to do something that’s been on my list for some time but I hadn’t done it because it seemed too easy. Nothing was too easy for this week. Today all we’re going to do is paint a […]
