Relationship stress can be caused by a number of issues of money, children, careers, laws, neighbors or the weather. Yes, weather. However, in reality, none of these things really cause relationship stress. What are the causes of stress due to these issues is not about money, but attitudes about your money or your willingness to discuss it in a non-judgmental or in neutral and not let your ego take over. So it is not really money or lack of what the guilty, but how you speak. If your comments are riddled with fault, invalidation, critics - what - I can assure you money relationship challenges.

Children are not a cause of stress relationship, or your reaction to your expectations on how children should behave, how they feel, what they should or should not do so is what cause you stress. Then, if you do not have a method of release or handling of such stress, I guarantee you bring the stress in all discussions with your partner about how children are driving you nuts.

How about your career or employment. Jobs are not stressful. They are jobs. What makes their stress is how we handle the demands of them. Whether we routine flows to these challenges, tasks or problems or we fight them every step of the process.

On the loose end of the cord, you are going to attach the small pot in the same way. Slide the small pot up the cord to make it easier to tie the other large wooden bead on the end of the cord. Now when you lift the entire arrangement by the loop, the smaller pot should hang freely inside the larger pot, making a pleasant sound when it claps against the larger pot. Decorate the outside of the larger pot with paint as desired. You may like to paint it in black and white patches for a Holstein cow theme. You may also like to decorate the top of the bell with silk or dried flowers and greenery and a ribbon bow. For a variation on this craft, make three of the bells and hang them from a horizontal piece of driftwood or other interesting piece of natural wood.

When making hanging clay pot crafts, always make sure the beads are large enough and are tied tightly in place, because the clay pots will break if they fall to the ground. Other clay pot crafts include making a large doll or scarecrow of nested pots strung together and painted. The doll can sit on a chair or a step of the front porch. Paint his face to look like a scarecrow, a jack-o-lantern, a gnome, or a child. Clay pot crafts are especially suited to being displayed outside.
