I am so impressed with how motivated people have been to finish their quarantine projects! I love crafts of all kinds and it’s so great to see that people had extra time to relax and finish things they’ve had on their mind for a while. I had time to paint a few rooms in my house, start learning how to make porcelain pottery, and made some really ugly masks that hopefully never see daylight! What did you make with your extra time?

2.“I built a pergola! My girlfriend was looking at them online and they were all ridiculously expensive, so I decided to build one myself. I sanded, cut, shaped, stained, designed, and built it all by myself. I decided I could, and then I did!”—kelseys470900ba5
3.“I’ve started playing around with hydro-dipping bones in nail polish and turning them into jewelry! Now I spend hours in the Bone Dunkery (my basement) just being creative. It’s an amazing way to cope with my anxiety, and I’ve already sold a few pieces and made a couple of custom commissions!”—Emily Adams
4.“I started woodworking and built my toddlers a playhouse! I also built a farmhouse dining table with a bench to match.”—danicamae_calpo

6.“Not a super-big thing, but I planted a small veggie garden. It’s my first time gardening, and I’m so excited to actually have tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplant that will soon be ready to pick. My kids are especially happy to go check on it every day and see what’s changed.”—dontdrinkmytea
