Spend Your Downtime Wisely jolenemac88, April 8, 2020September 8, 2021 Spending your downtime wisely right now would be a great use of all your workday energy. If you are one of the many of us who are self-isolating at home right now would be a great time to get all those “honey-Do’s” done and even clean up all your partially done craft projects. Who knows maybe you’ll be able to earn some money after all this is over with. You can check through some of our old posts to get ideas about selling handcrafted items. Yes, now is a great time to get geared up for a new business adventure as well. https://swconlinestore.com/product/light-green-and-dark-teal-10-inch-circular-beaded-anklet/ If you are gardening you might want to get all those chores lined up and done first but inventing new ways to make interesting and helpful items would be great. Right now most of the handcrafters I know that sew are whipping out those facemasks to give away to nursing homes and other medical facilities. That would be great but there is so much conflicting information about their effectiveness. So read through the information carefully and decide for yourself. We found one video that might help you get started. So, keep going y’all, and post pictures on your favorite social media pages so we can all see what you’re working on these days. Hold Zoom meetings with your family and friends to stay in touch. Of course, if you want to have Zoom meetings with other crafters that is easy enough to arrange. Just sign-up with an account, create a meeting and send the links out to all of your handcraft friends. There is nothing wrong with spending 40 minutes online each day or even just once a week talking about your crafting projects. https://zoom.us/ https://swconlinestore.com/product/grape-nehi-purple-black-and-light-pink-tribead-pink-glass-bead-upcycled-bottlecap-keychain/ Share this: Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr More Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window) Telegram Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Click to share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window) Nextdoor Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window) Pocket Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window) Threads Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X Like this:Like Loading...
