Crafting in Recovery to Better My Self-esteem.

Hey, everybody!!

I posted this in Creative Corner, but it helps my self-esteem, so I want it here too.

These are just some pieces I have made. Sure is fun to get feedback on what I have made by hand. Plus, I get to determine what colors to use. I LOVE that part of crafting, plus now I am actually wanting to craft again. I haven't felt that in forever.

So, in this case, I chose almost every color there is, LOL I love this yarn. It is called Blacklight. Red Heart Yarn makes it.



I like to double up yarn when I crochet. I added a light blue yarn to make this scarf and used a big crochet hook:



To make this beanie hat, I doubled up with a bright green yarn:



If I get lost in a snowstorm, I'll be easy to see, LOL

Also, here are some different Halloween earrings I have made:



I should redo those so the witches look like they are flying towards each other.

I love the green BOO beads and the evil eye ones, LOL



It's nice too that so many pieces to make crafts are available in stores. And lots of stores offer classes!! You know, some crafting looks complicated and some are, but what I do is really simple. And it suits my needs perfectly!!

Can you think of any crafts you'd like to try?

It's really nice to make something that is functional and tailored to what you need. Plus, it is a GREAT Break from my day in and day out life. It gives me something fun and useful to do, plus, it contributes to making me feel better about myself.
