Nature has given us an opportunity to be at home. Its a forced staycation. And the best time to dig out our art supplies that we may have at home. Bring out the notebooks and start drawing. Make something out of old clothes, old CDs. Make fancy things like photo frames, book marks, pen stands, piggy bank, coasters, Has anyone tried anything new? Look forward to learning something from you and seeing what you have done.

Yes, I have done something new. I painted empty cans for my planters. It is a beginning of a new hobby.

I don't venture out of my hobby area of making dollhouse miniatures but I make unique new things almost every day! This one I created two days ago from scratch wood and fabric. I added a battery operated LED so it will light up! Its a dollhouse miniature reading nook!

I'm not good at making things by hand. I do housework, play with my cell phone, spend time with my children, and read books to kill time.

Do you have stock of books or do you read them online?

And what are you crocheting just now? I have small balls of wool that I want to use and cannot think of anything. They are too small to use for any one single project.

@mayka123 I am making beanies for premature babies. A friend's hospital put out a need for these. A lot of heat is lost through a prem baby's head as it is about the biggest part of them. There might be a hospital near you that would like them. Also, I made a heap of child's beanies for children in a cancer ward in Nepal. Vince took them with him when he visited there.
