This whole "hand thing" - has just been a nightmare, let me tell you! I will be really glad when this is off and I can type and craft like normal! We won't even discuss the simple fact my husband has had to wash and condition my hair since the beginning of September!!! Plus we are working on a design team project, and to say how cute it is turning out - is an understatement! Make sure you check back the week of Halloween for some cute projects AND a blog hop too!
So, how do you craft - when you can't? I have learned a few things during the past few weeks - the second time around only different hand!
- Look at the tools you do have, and get back to the basics! A paper trimmer does a great job for squares and basic shapes!
- Make notes for things that needs to get done when you are not incapacitated! This way, you have a lot of the details worked out, which is half the battle!
- Look at blogs, Pinterest, websites, and books to get ideas of things you are wanting to make when you can!
- Do what you can - ask for help from someone who can be an extra hand! Plus spending time creating with a trusted friend or family member is worth it!
- Shop and get supplies ready to go for when you are ready to create! This way, you have the notes ready for what you want to create and you have shopped for it too!
- If you have a die cut machine, get die cuts ready to go, shapes punched out, or anything else for the projects you are going to do!
- Get everything ready for your projects and in one place - notes for the project, supplies, etc.
