Embroidery or Crafts to Ease Boredom / myLot

It is usually in the afternoon when boredom strikes me. Am thinking of ways to counter it, when I do not want to watch television or read a book or do anything. Doing some crafts interests me more, and I remembered I started some embroidery in a white bed linen that I want to be more colorful, so I thought of some floral designs in it. I can finish it soon. My late mother loves embroidery so much and she had left me with pillowcases that she embroidered, and by doing it, I can always remember her too!

I used to do embroidery. It's very time consuming but worth it. I enjoyed crewel and quilting back in the day.

It is only now that I think of doing it; I had done it only when I have projects in school.

Embroidery can be very addictive and in the end you will have some lovely pieces of work.

I usually just sleep when I'm bored, can't help it most of the time.

I do not want to sleep always because I will feel so sluggish.

I enjoyed embroidery when I was younger and I had more free time.

I love to try it again and imitate the beautiful flowers that my mother made when she was alive.
