Sometimes it's good to get some three dimensional entertainment at home

We've put together a few things that can inspire a craft, help on a rainy day and yes, drag yourself away from the phone and the screen.

There's something for crafting, inspiring and simply fitting in some gentle you time.

That Picture won't fix itself!

A couple of old time favourites - yes jigsaw puzzles. Challenging yet also relaxing and ultimately rewarding. We have a selection online and in our shop but here's a couple of our favourites.

Books for Doing

Amongst our selection of books we have something themed to inspire and there's two here that are perfect. Our Green Gifts Book shows you 40 ideas to produce your own gifts and Planting for Garden Birds gives you planting suggestions to bring some feathered friends into your domain. Loads of information on the environment as well.

Putting pen, pencil and brush to paper

Some gems here for those who aspire to draw, doodle or just the zen art of colouring in. Good for the mind and for you'll be surprised that can actually draw. Practice doesn't always make perfect, but then no one likes a smarty pants!

So there you are. Something to inspire and definitely something to just slow down with. Not always a bad thing.
