I also love to do crafts......they can be so much fun. And if you are creative, you can really do them inexpensively and come up with unique gifts too. With practice and patience, craft ideas don't have to look gaudy or "crafty" either one.....go to a good craft supply store and browse through some books or even idea pages they sometimes offer for free. Other ideas for staying busy or not bored, maybe to get into an excersize routine you can do at home..(I'm trying this in order to lose weight....wish me luck!!!) ..not cuz YOU need to lose weight..(how would III know?? if you do or not??? ahhahaa) but just to be in shape and to feel good inside. Think about what you enjoy....maybe even studying up on something you love would be fun...... I hope these suggestions help in some way......
