This beautiful Christmas wreath was made especially for us at home by a friend who is an avid knitter.
The hours if not days of effort that go into making gifts such as this make them feel far more special than gifts bought off the shelf.
We are both delighted and humbled to be the lucky recipients of this one off, 'never to be repeated' item, which will take pride of place in our home for years and potentially even generations to come.
Is there any skill you possess that can be used to make special and unique momentos for those you care for on special occasions?
Poetry, perhaps, or calligraphy?
Or maybe a penchant for drawing, tapestry, embroidery or card design?
If not, what about amateur photography, writing short stories, tracing family trees, designing a personalised tattoo or writing / playing a short piece of music?!
What is wonderful about this great age of modern technology is that if such skills are lacking but of interest, then there is a huge array of free courses accessible online that can be both learned in your own time and are accredited remotely, so you only need a wi-fi connection to access them.
So nowadays it is NEVER too late to learn without cost and if you want to.
Look out for a future StressBustingExpert™ post in which we will list what we consider to be "The Top 5 Free Online Course Providers"and in the meantime take a peak at our post entitled "Embrace Technology to Stressbust™" for further information.
Love most gratefully,
LouLoU&MikeyM™ ☺❤💙xxx
