Don't Get Mad - Get Crafting!
This is a little project which I've been meaning to do for ages - make a pin board.
Yesterday I got really annoyed at something (too boring to relate) and came home in a terrible mood - do you ever get angry and edgy and stomp about the house? Needed something to dissipate these feelings so got cracking on the pin board project. Been waiting for months - took me half an hour!
Can't even remember where I bought this cork board - could have been the pound shop.
Covered it with wadding then had an idea and sprayed it with my favourite fragrance - that way it will smell lovely when I push pins in it. Put some fabric on the centre of the back - I like the back to look nice too!
The most difficult part was choosing which fabric to cover it with - tea towels from Wilkinsons or tartan - no too bold!
Settled on a soft light blue and cream fabric and used some light pink ribbon.
Tra la - finished, and best of all - bad mood gone! So the moral of the story is, next time you are really annoyed at something - get crafting!
Love, Liz

We loved the pound shop when we were there, we also came out with 3-4 bags full!

It looks great and it did the trick of getting rid of your frustration - don't get mad make a pin board!!
I like to craft when I am upset - it's very soothing and I get so lost in what I'm doing that everything else recedes and when I re-emerge I can deal with the matter more rationally.
I'm afraid crafting has the opposite affect on me, I usually feel crosser because I make so many mistakes!
Btw, I've tagged you, hope you don't mind.
This came out great. I would love to make one myself sometime.
Have a great weekend, Liz ~
