With some big markets coming up in the next two weeks, its all busy busy in this weeks Creative Space - making resendable cards AND new (but of course recycled) business cards. I've been sewing a lot lately too, and even put a product online for the first time (that was hella SCARY! and nerve wracking!) - armwarmers for AROHA are still available over here. I've also been researching patterns, attempting to sort my fabric stash, and all sorts of business admin/networking stuff for Sew Love. I don't get headaches very often perhaps once every few years, but I have had some killers the last few days. I'm not one to pop a pain killer to easily either.
So, my fix? Cardmaking!
It was truly amazing to realise.
I sat down with a stack of card, scissors, glue, and some beautiful paper snippets & clippings.
It felt so easy, no pressure, so automatic, so therapeutic...cutting, glueing, folding.
Do you find any craft in particular relaxing or soothing?
Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE sewing and have mucho plans for more creative spaces filled with thread and fabric scraps. I just love to put pressure on myself, haha, I guess I must make sure I have a little pouch of paper craft in my hand bag for when my spirit calls out for it. In the meantime, here's a grand place to check out some other Creative Spaces this week.
I've never heard of resendable cards - sounds like a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI find knitting quite relaxing - until it comes to the sewing-up-bit! I don't know that it would get rid of a headache tho.
Hope yours cleared up OK : )
I love your little business cards. Good luck with the markets.
