I've seen things like sculpting, wood-work, knitting, bird/fairy houses ... but they are in OTHER threads about drawing, etc. I thought we need a separate thread...
I grow lavender, and like to make wands. I've given them to people for so many years, the last 2 years I just saved the blossoms. I don't know what to do with them anymore. But the lavender is in bloom, and I LIKE to make things with them. Lavender is sacred; well at least it smells good! I still have a wand I made years ago, beat it on my pillow at night and it still has a strong scent. They can be cooked with (lavender shortbread with lavender peach jam - yum), a tea with lavender and chamomile is soothing to stomach and spirit, they are a classic French herb for chicken, they are said to bring sweet dreams a peacefull sleep by smacking them (in a schet) on your pillow (that causes the flowers - actually they are the SEED pods - to release oils, even if they are years old!)
Stand up, speak out. Just not to me..
