Here are just a few ways to add handmade to your life without giving up the technology we all love

• Shop at your local Farm or Farmer Market
• Buy organic or local grown or made products
• Try to make something you always wanted to ( going to the library and looking in the craft DIY section  usually has  a lot of books on different subjects it is a great place to start)
• Ask friends and family or even look in your favorite magazines for new recipes and then have fun in the kitchen
• Take a class at your local yarn, pottery, bead, or fabric store
• Shop at online handmade market place like Etsy
• Grow some herbs in a bright windowsill
• Grab a camera and start taking pictures of things that inspire you or least make you smile
• Visit local craft fairs, especially around the holiday season
• Restore /Repurpose  items found at flea and vintage markets
• Buy bread and baked goods from your local bakery
