Craftfulness Quotes

“Using our hands to think about a problem, such as cleaning, mending, cooking, knitting or gardening, where the end goal is meaningful, is like taking a mental health vitamin, Lambert concludes. Any useful task that engages your hands gives you a sense of control over your environment and is, ultimately, very empowering. Craftwork brings exactly the same brain rewards.”
