Your Brain on Knitting 
by Jacque Wilson - CNN Health - March 25, 2014

 A woman named Sarah Huertas was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and extreme anxiety so her husband gave her knitting needles

 Crafting can help those who suffer from anxiety, depression, and chronic pain

 It can also ease stress, increase happiness, and protect the brain from damage caused by aging

 Our bodies are in a constant state of stress because our brain can't tell the difference between an up coming meeting with the boss and an upcoming bear attack. Schindler says, the repetitive motions of knitting, for example, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which quiets the "fight or flight" respond

 There's survey evidence to support crafting dopamine effect. in one study of over 3,500 knitters, 81% reported feeling happy after  knitting

DIY Cute Dot Designs

I like putting dots all over my nails, but sometimes it can look immature and a little childish. I'm at an event and I need to be taken seriously.

  This week I used my dotter tool and my favorite football teams colors, red and gold. This manicure is slick, hip, while not looking like a teenager. 

Paint 8 of your nails in a light pink. The color I used it called Sugar coat.

Pick a nail on each hand to be a little different and paint each one a different color


Let nails dry,
 using your dotter place 2 dots matching the 2 colors you painted your "fun" nails with, place dots on left side of nail on left hand and on right side of day on the other hand




Have fun with your dots. Get creative
Paint with high quality quick drying top coat


I tried this dot design last week, it was super cute

Enjoy!

I'm in Tahoe for the weekend. Pictures will be posted on Monday.
Blessings Friends,
Ms Mary
