Dads Do Art Too!

From Mill Street Folkart

Did You Know....  more and more men are getting into handcrafted work?  Knitting, crocheting, needlepoint....

Yep, you bet.  They are finding it relaxing and destressing.  The health benefits can be a great side benefit.  I've known people who have dropped their blood pressure by starting a stitching hobby!  The history behind these folk art crafts intrigues them as well.

And for any of their friends who think it's too "girly" for them just remember that NY Giants Linebacker Rosey Grier started it all with his needlepoint to help him relax before and during games and he isn't the only one in history.

Franklin D. Roosevelt - the President - was a crocheter.  Joining him in our modern society is Brad Pitt and Russell Crowe!

So, if your husband or dad has a creative soul - feed it, nurture it and encourage it.

Mill Street Folkart is offering some great Punch Needle classes just around the corner in August and September and we don't discriminate!

Think outside the box this Father's Day and give Dad something artistic to do with his hands that could lead him down a new and exciting path.

And don't forget the extra hug and kiss!
