As of very recently I now have a lot of free time on my hands, and since I am not used to so much free time I need to come up with ways to stay productive. For reasons that are unknown to me and I cannot explain, I have picked up a crafting hobby of sorts. This is ironic because I have always HATED arts and crafts time (either at school or camp) and I have an inability to come up with anything on my own (which was why I didn't like my music composition class, or why I always cook from a recipe, never from my own ideas). So why I have this desire to do crafting is beyond me.
But, it is what it is, as a great sage once said (and I frequently repeat), so I succumbed to my local Hobby Lobby.
So far I like crafts that deal with paper. I have made a photo album for a friend (photo to be posted soon) and I made a laminated sign for the Al Netilat Yadayim (ritual hand-washing) blessing. My husband bought me a crafting book, and I checked out other crafting books from the library. However, I am still in search of good ideas of what to craft.
If you have an idea of what I can do, please share. Since I am (very) new to this, every idea is a good idea and I will appreciate your input.
