Tips on How to be Creative During Lockdown and After - DIY Crafts - Crochet Basket

Hi There! Have you ever made a crochet basket? Are you interested in DIY crafts?


Picture by Seadbeady

As some of you may already know..... I am very creative. Ever since I was a kid and probably till the day I die 😁

No worries. I plan on being around for quite a while still.There is more than enough time left for me to play the fool πŸ˜‹

For me, creativity is my therapy against the pain I daily have. I am pretty sure that many people use it to keep the stress from this pandemic of their mind too πŸ˜€

Things like DIY crafts, drawing, sewing, building things, or other creative activities reward your brain. Not only with what you made, of course. That's not what I meant. Creativity seems to release dopamine 😊

Ha, did you think I would leave it at that? I can see your face frowning. What on earth is this dopamine? 

Well, it's some kind of hormone and a neurotransmitter that plays a very important role in our brain and body. 

It gives you a sense of pleasure and reward. They say it relieves stress and reduces the tension that has build-up in your system. Cool, right? 😍

So you can imagine that I was happy to receive this gift from Beeeasycrafts..... I am really happy with the color and love the feel of this wool 

I got it along with the description on how to crochet a basket out of this yarn..... Oh yes, I have done a lot of knitting and crochet too when I was a young girl πŸ˜„

Below is a picture of the basket I am gonna make..... Looks pretty cool..... Don't you agree 😎

I will definitely be showing you the basket on my Instagram page once I have it finished..... But let me tell you a bit about this Beeeasycrafts shop first ..... They offer crochet, quilting, and vinyl..... They are an Ice Yarn reseller too..... They offer short how-to videos, product reviews and more πŸ˜„

Julie Ammon and her daughter in law Dakoda Hathaway both run the shop together..... Must be quite nice being able to do this together 😊

You can find a lot of their live sessions on their Facebook page ..... So be sure to head on over there if you are interested..... But hey wait..... You have to read the rest of my blog post first..... I still have to show you some of the things you can find in their shop 😁

  7. There are ways we can be creative. aside from sewing and making something out of a yarn, we can also write, recycle and so on. And those T-shirts from Etsy are nice.

  16. Wat een creativiteit weer! Zou zelf ook wel graag willen kunnen haken en breien trouwens, lijkt me erg rustgevend. Ben benieuwd naar je mand!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wat super leuk om zo'n mandje te maken. Ik kom niet verder dan een simpele sjaal breien. Maar dat vind ik wel erg relaxt om te maken. Wie weet kom ik ook nog zover om een stapje ver te gaan.

    Ik vind mijzelf ook wel creatief, maar dit is niet zo mijn ding. Achja smaken verschillen!
