I’m curious to know if there are any other Individuals out there who use crafts or art to cope and practice self care?
I’m a green woodworker and try and carve daily.
The hand mind connection is a very powerful tool for self care.
Just wanted to reach out and see if there were others in this community. If so let me know.
Cheers

I definitely do, and I recently started a thread for others to share their crafts and projects on. There was also another DIY thread when I got here that’s more along the lines of home improvement, and it’s awesome. I’ll put the links to these below. I’m happy you’re finding fun and productive ways to enjoy your sobriety.
I had this idea to start a thread as we were talking about the things we love on here today! (Love my TS people!)
One thing I spend a good deal of time lately looking into is yurts to live in and any other way to do a fairly inexpensive yet functional temporary home for a few years. I have 50 acres of land at the moment that I would like to live on and I have no idea what on doing with my life long term so it seems silly to pay crazy rent or build a house with so many things up in the air. Now …
I make a lot of my own household cleaners, bath and body products, extracts, seasonings, etc., and I wanted to create a space for us to share our projects with each other. I also love to sew, even though I’m not great at it. Let’s share…
• Sewing, quilting, and needlework
• Extracts and infusions (please add trigger warning for alcohol use)
• Bath and body recipes
• Household cleaning concoctions
• Crafty creations
