Day by Day Craft

I am the only one in my family that lacks that talent for handcrafting. I’m just not good at it. The rest of them are; I know I’m not adopted though. My mum and my grandmother designed and crafted most of the decoration at their respective homes. My sister is an artist. Their minds and hands are worth millions, but unfortunately I don’t share this skill with them. However I’m very familiar with all the materials and tools they used and I was raised in a permanent workshop. As a child, it was a lot of fun but whichever way I tried, my piece of art always looked ridiculous. I used to go shopping for those materials and never got bored. So there I was (20 years later?), in this shop, looking around for something my mum would like.
This shop is lovely! Hadn’t I walked up the building they’re located at to check out another shop, I would have never found it. When I arrived there was a workshop going on, for kids, all of them sat at a big table by the window, drawing like crazy.
Actually, I didn’t know they ran these kinds of workshops but they do, all types of them! Scrapbooking, albums, découpage… it sounded great to me, as a little bit of help could turn my mess into something looking like it’s actually ‘something’. They do charge for those but they seem affordable as they provide you with the materials and you walk away with a masterpiece done by you.
Besides that, they sell cute cards, stickers, ribbons, envelopes… most of them with child motives and light colors. Cute is the word.
I felt a little bit at home and it was a bit of a motivation to roll up my sleeves and try this forgotten hobby again!
