Teach Others Some Lovely Needlecraft Skills

This is a time when just about everyone needs 'a side gig'.  And from personal experience, I can tell you that one of the most fun and satisfying ways to earn a bit of extra money and even make some new friends, is to teach a class in an artistic skill.  There are so many who prefer to learn from an instructor, and not a book.  And certainly, unless you have a skilled relative with some patience, you are never going to be taught the 'gentle arts' - knitting, sewing, crocheting, embroidery, needlepoint, etc. - in school!  From what I've heard, most schools are trimming music and arts from the budget.  So earn some money and school the world, and this is a useful book to get you started:

Wish Trees

Add a bit of sparkle to your life with a Wish Tree.  Hang them from a knob or in the window; they catch the light.  These, and others are available in the Busy Crow Studio shop in the Artfire online marketplace.
