I have found that I am able to be in my craft area downstairs while my son entertains himself near me. We don’t always go down into the basement, so it is always new for him and he can find something to do to occupy himself without needing me to play with him.

I am a mom of many with much on my plate, yet my heart yearns to create. Two things that have helped me lately…..I take my knitting with me everywhere even when I doubt I will get to work on it- then I am always prepared. With yarn hand painting/dyeing, I do the prep in 5min. increments so the yarn is ready to paint when I am ready.

I have 3 or 4 different “on the go” craft bags. I take knitting when I know we are going on a longer drive and my husband will be driving. I take locker hooking, when I am going to be sitting and gabbing with friends. I really do craft a little here a little there, so I always try to pick small projects so that I get that sense of accomplishment, instead of Ugh I really should get that done.

Sometimes I choose to leave the dishes or the laundry to spend time sewing or crafting. I find that creativity lowers my stress level and helps me get through the chores with a better attitude. You can’t skip the dishes everyday to go sew, but once in a while it’s great to take a break from the normal routine and do something fun. And in the end, the chores still get done

Our church has a ladies all-nighter every few months and I plan to try to attend and take along a few project to get some things accomplished. I love crafting with my children but sometimes it is so nice to get a lot done in a big chunk of time.
