Crafters have a huge advantage over regular people when it comes to downtime. We have stashes to bust. We have queues to get through. We can make all the things! But we do need more than that to stay sane in these crazy times. Here's a list of things one can occupy themselves while staying away from people.

There are so many things to do! We just need to do them instead of dwelling on how tough this situation is. Remember that we're all in the same boat and we're all going through this together apart.
Stay safe! Stay away! Stay connected! Stay sane!
