~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

@Flutterbug9 I never thought of getting a colour by number app, thank you for the idea!! I like colouring but always struggle with choosing colours and that is why I prefer diamond art. Colour by number though is a great way to overcome that struggle but I haven't been able to find any books for adults so an app sounds great!

@DownMoreThanUp being served as a lamb chop is definitely not fun. Being thrown to the wolves, never a good experience but sometimes I think we are put there to be refined, like going through the fire. What do you think?

@ENKELI

I have found some colour by number books online which I enjoy doing. MissGremlin has mentioned they have bought one also.

They are known as Mystery Mosaic colour book.

book tells you the colours to use. I’ve bought them from Temu.

pages are completely covered by one specific shape.

pictures Ive done so far, I have no idea what the picture is until Im at least fair way into colouring it. Cover of the book plus the pictures I’ve done so far

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin you're always in my thoughts and prayers beautiful. I know the struggle of having to clean myself so I feel your pain. Just do what you can each day, and remember to be kind to yourself.

I am happy to chat with you on your thread if you need to vent or talk.

Hugs xoxo

@DownMoreThanUp I love how you phrased that, I needed to read something positive right now and you reminded me of how blessed we truly are. xoxo

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@Flutterbug9 thanks for sharing! You reminded me that I bought a book online that is the same. I think I might get the pencils out tomorrow and start one.

The pictures you've done look amazing, well done 😍
