Furniture Painting
In recent times, painting and ‘upcycling’ old
furniture has become a popular pastime, and
we can see why. Turning chairs, tables, even
wardrobes and more that would have been
thrown away into something beautiful and
useable is a worthy pursuit.

Crocheting
Repetitive motions that are done in a calm,
relaxed way – which is exactly what you are
aiming for when c rocheting – are good for
you. They help your body to relax and your
brain to be still, allowing you to recharge. Plus,
at the end of it, you’ll have a lovely crocheted
item for your home. Perfect!

Writing
Whether you love poetry, prose, or something
undefined in between, creative writing is a
joyous thing to do. It boost your imagination,
which wakes up the brain and gets those
endorphins running like crazy.
