Slow Living Practice of the Day: Make Something From Scratch
Cooking. Baking. Fairy house making. Woodworking. DIY cosmetic making. Crafting.Painting. Pickle making. Beer (or butterbeer) and kombucha brewing. Cocktail slinging. Clay crafting. Gardening. Bee-keeping. Jewelry making. Bookbinding. Candle making. And there are countless other make-from-scratch activities!
Harness your creativity and make something from scratch. The world we live in is full of convenience and speed but sometimes we forget the resources, thought, and time things require before they reach our hands. In making something from scratch, we can simultaneously appreciate what it takes to create something and also revel in the enjoyment of making. It’s impossible not to slow down when we use our hands to create and equally impossible not to feel accomplished afterward.
