Have you joined in on the latest craze? Or are you like me and you never outgrew coloring as you got older? “Adult” coloring books are flying off of store shelves as more and more people re-discover the joy and relaxation that can be found while coloring. Now before your imagination runs wild with the word “adult,” all I am referring to are the coloring books designed specifically for adults. Their images are far more detailed than childrens’ coloring books with many intricate details. Coloring has become a popular way to unwind and to relieve stress over the past few years. It is a great way to exercise your fine motor skills and can even help you train your brain to focus in today’s world of constant distractions. One of the best things about coloring in that there is no right or wrong. Simply choose a book that appeals to you and color it however you like! I definitely have my fair share of both adult and childrens’ coloring books, as well as an extensive array of crayons, colored pencils, and markers. With all the different “high-end” brands of coloring instruments out there, I’ll let you in on a little secret… I LOVE Crayola. Where does it say that you need fancy colored pencils to enjoy the benefits of coloring? No matter what you choose, pick crayons, colored pencils, and/ or markers that you like, that are comfortable to hold, and that you are happy with. So what do you think? Will you be picking up a coloring book soon? Check out some of the free, printable coloring pages I found online by following Emmy’s Crafty Corner on Pinterest! |

“It’s a new year, so why not try something new?”
That was the thought that popped into my head last week while cleaning out my craft room and reminiscing over all the projects I’ve completed during the past few years. And before you ask, yes, I have a whole room dedicated to my crafting. I’ve always had a passion for crafting, but not for any one type of crafting, I love it all! Learning new skills, making gifts for others, turning ideas into finished projects, and decorating my home are just a few of the reasons crafting is so appealing to me. According to my parents, I’ve been crafting since my early childhood. In fact, since age 6, they can’t remember a time where I didn’t have some sort of project going on. Over those 20 plus years, I’ve definitely collected my fair share of supplies, although recently, I’ve been working to narrow down my stash to just the “crafting essentials.” I haven’t fully figured out what those essentials are, but I’m working on it. Anyway, back to the thought that popped into my head. This thought lead me to an idea to create a journal of all of my projects, including notes, supplies, paint colors, etc. Then another thought popped into my head… “Why not try something new and share this journal with other crafters through a blog?” So, here it goes… |
AuthorTo put it mildly, I LOVE crafting! The only problem is that I don't fancy just one specific type of craft, I love it all. With this in mind, I've decided to keep a running chronicle of projects and, hopefully, inspire someone else along the way. Categories
