Hobbies
I am highly influenced by art . All I need is a canvas, paints and free time to study various paintings online.
I have always been a very creative person and find it relaxing to indulge in craft activities.
There is a new modern term for this; ‘Do-It-Yourself’ or DIY.
It largely means to create handmade products and includes a gamut of different crafts.
Most of these ideas are relatively cheap and I love taking on new projects for home improvement.
It keeps me occupied and enables me to think on my feet to create new designs.
Furthermore, I am lucky that I can make personalized gifts for close friends and family. It’s a gesture they never forget!
During lockdown I have discovered a new interest of creating videos for social media and it's really fascinating.
Quote
I can’t understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I’m frightened of the old ones.
