Get Creative! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Stress awareness month is here and as our work, study and life balances are interrupted due to the pandemic, we yearn for a breathing space or some creative vitality in our lives. Here are some tips below on how to get more creative!<\/p>\n

Knitting or Sewing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knitting doesn\u2019t just have to consist of socks and scarves. The repetition of stitches can be a way of calming the mind from the everyday stresses of the pandemic. You could add new embroidered designs to your garments or repair any odd holes or two! This fantastic Box of Broadcasts documentary <\/a>tells you about the history of knitting and how it has become the people\u2019s craft in Britain<\/p>\n

Want to learn how to knit? You can access the online eBook Knitting for Dummies<\/a> through Librarysearch.<\/p>\n

Scrapbooking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know Scrapbooking first began in the United Kingdom during the 19th<\/sup> Century? All you need is a plain paged scrapbook, journal or book to keep your memories alive! You can add photographs, fabrics, objects, quotes, colours, and materials that you have collected or bring you a sense of comfort. You can find more about the psychological benefits on scrapbooking in the book Creative Nostalgia: Social and Psychological Benefits of Scrapbooking<\/a>, available through Librarysearch.<\/p>\n
