Now that fall weather is upon us, we’ll be spending more time indoors.  Whether the rain or snow is keeping us in, or just the cold temperatures, it’s tempting to crawl into bed and sleep the day away.  How about learning a new skill instead?  The Internet provides so many great opportunities for learning a craft.  Now you have the chance to learn a new skill and it doesn’t have to cost you a penny!!   Craftsy offers you the chance to take a free online class to learn how to knit, sew, decorate a cake, or even quilt.  There are lots of good reasons to give this a try.

1.  You’re inside anyway.  Remember the rain, the snow, the generally cold temperatures.  Right.

2.  Decorating a cake would sure taste a lot better than yet another round of Candy Crush Saga.

3.  If you get stuck, you can watch the video again until you get it right.

4.  You could get lots of compliments on your beautiful handmade Christmas gifts.

5.  Did I mention that your first class is free?

Imagine pulling out that handknit scarf when the weather really gets chilly.  Or picture the smiles on your kids’ faces when you pull out that fancy cake at Thanksgiving this year.  There are many reasons for trying something new.  Just take one of them and run with it!
