Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Tutorial: Mid-Century Wall Clock

This is a really easy and quick project to do.
All you need is some cardboard, a pair of scissors, a cutting knife, PVC glue,


twelve sewing pins with coloured heads,
a ruler and a pencil (to measure the centre of the circle and to mark where to place your pins)


a scrap-booking brad to hold everything together,


a couple of pieces of thin foam cut to size (I used some little shapes from my stash, you can purchase these from any craft shop)


something to make the hands (thin plastic from a butter or similar container)


put it all together and voila! You have a mid century wall clock. :)
