Making or Buying your own Name Tags

Useful for ensuring you don’t lose things, name tags have become an essential part of everyday life for doctors, police officers and most largely, children.  No longer do you have to spend hours and hours searching around for the right sized label, the right kind of fabric or the right kind of colouring as there are many ways you can make your own with a little help.

To Start

Who is the name tag for?  Always the first question you have to ask as this will determine what kind of style you’ll be going for when it comes to making the tags.  If the tag if for a child then you need to think in bright and colourful terms.  If the tag is for a formal occasion, say a meeting or other business gathering then you need to think in more measured terms.

To Underjams and Beyond!

Spending time with the kids whilst simultaneously trying to create something is difficult at the best of times. My two year old takes up a lot of my time, particularly as he is at the bed wetting stage. I read a good underjams review at a website called ‘Supersavvyme.com'and tried them out on my two year old. It didn’t steer me wrong and as a result I now have a two year old who doesn’t wet the bed as often as he used to. The underjams gave me some inspiration in something to create.

I make many different bits and pieces, but recently I’ve become interested in making things bigger than normal. The underjams gave me an idea to help my two year old. I began to build him a potty. Not just a normal potty though. I intended to build the best potty in the world for my kid!

I’d drawn blue prints up and everything. The whole idea had ballooned into something more than even I could imagine. My kid’s potty would basically look like a small toilet with a flush handle that actually moved (even if it didn’t really flush). I’d even decided on matching the colour of the potty to the colour of the family toilet so that my kid would feel like a grown up when needing to go. Whilst underjams are great at protecting bed sheets from the inevitable, they’re only a temporary stop gap before your kid has to take the leap to a potty! And I’ve built my kid the best potty in the world.

African Crafts

Crafts like any work of art have huge follower-ship across the world. In some parts of the world, crafts are even more popular than paintings. Physio Jobs are as scarce as it is to find craftsmen especially when compared to how the field had many professionals back in the days. There is a difference between the ways craftsmen operate here in Europe and in Africa for example. In Europe, it is more developed in terms of access and publicity. Here, it is also possible to buy from a credible source online or even visit an organised exhibition. It is not that easy in most African countries for craftsmen to exhibit their products or showcase their talents all by themselves. This however does not undermine the originality of their work. The craftsmen are exceptionally brilliant at what they do.

In Africa, creativity is part of the work. They paint exceptional stories with their crafts and you only have to see to believe. Most of the old men who have crafts shops have no formal education but learnt the trade from their fathers and even their fathers learnt it from the older generation. They are mostly proud of their work and these are people who have forty to fifty (some have more) years'experience in the art of craft making. They however don’t get much money, because they sell these art pieces at a cheap price and most crafts people are not rich. If they have access to enough publicity, their work I promise would be world beaters.

Discovering Wood Carving.

It really doesn’t matter if all of my readers are native Canadians or not because creativity is universal. The desire to make, paint, sculpt or write is something that is locked within human beings the world over. And, I would imagine, it has been this way for as long as people have walked the Earth. So if you had ever thought that my blog page had been put together only for the use of Canadians, then you are very mistaken indeed! Of course, ‘Craft Shows Canada’ was created primarily for craft-loving Canadians (as the title clearly suggests!) but we are by no means a totally exclusive bunch here in ‘The Great White North’! So, now that we have cleared up that minor issue, you can read on in total confidence. All of my crafty visitors are welcome here, irrespective of the country that they live in!!!

Cree-inspired craft

I’m currently keeping myself busy during the lead-up to Christmas by making some accessories and clothes for my relatives. Not your run of the mill sweaters, oh no, I’ve decided to seek inspiration from the designs created over the centuries by the First Nations. Specifically their use of beads. Having looked through several books on the subject I became very interested in the designs of the Cree Nation which numbers 200,000 members and is made up of eight distinct groups.

Craft work- Maintain quality

It is one thing to expect your friends and relatives to be forgiving about the quality of your craft efforts simply because you have chosen patriotism as your theme. However, do not make the mistake of thinking that you can get away with bad work when you are seeking professional criticism. If you know a person who is very keen on crafts, then you should probably try to do a good job before seeking his or her opinion. Do not expect them to condone bad work simply because you are a patriotic person.
