Handmade objects help humanize home Every year, it seems, crafts become more popular possibly as a relief from our increasingly mechanized, computerized, systematized society in which the human element sometimes tends to get lost. As a result, people enjoy making objects ob-jects by hand and they enjoy having them around. And, it's true, craft items do make homes homier. For example, take the "Great Room" (combination family room-dining room-dining area kitchen) created by the interior designer at one large home furnishings company. To humanize this wide-open space, they not only fill it with comfortable furnishings in warm colors but they accessorized it liberally with many kinds of crafted objects d'art. Wicker, wrought iron and ceramic articles abound. The room's color scheme is a cozy butterscotch set off by touches of navy blue. The upholstery on the two overstuffed love seats are those colors. The Armstrong no-wax floor, used thoughout the entire space as a unifier, is butterscotch, while the hand-loomed area rug under the butler's-tray coffee cof-fee table is navy. The no-wax flooring is a special kind. It has "Inlaid Color." Most no-wax no-wax floors have their patterns printed on, but not this one. The larger-scale block pattern Is built up with thousands of colorful vinyl granules which are then fused together with intense in-tense heat and pressure-much the way Nature creates materials. Though machine-made, this no-wax floor gives THE BEST ISA WANT AD For The Carefree Cook a 5 vfrvV: , :. y ... 4 li F 4 4 r 1 v.; rr ljfc.

The fireplace in the family room is bordered with stock molding painted navy and butterscotch. The beveled-edge beveled-edge plank walls received a couple of coats of off-white paint. The crafts are what make the room, including a table lamp with woven wicker base; a wooden chandelier with gracefully curved wrought-iron arms and a butterscotch, navy and cobalt co-balt blue quilt, both in the dining area ; a Shaker wall clock; Shaker hurricane lamps with heavy iron wall fastenings, flanking the fireplace; and a stoneware bowl and American Indian earthenware candle holders on the coffee cof-fee table. The furniture, while new, consists of carefully contrived replicas of authentic authen-tic 18th century American pieces.

NY J ;ft JoEllen Ldtton of Vernal, an independent in-dependent beauty consultant for Mary Kay Cosmetics, has just returned home from three days of intensive sales and product training in Dallas as a participant in Mary Kay's 1984 national na-tional seminar. More than 30,000 independent beauty beau-ty consultants and sales directors flocked to Dallas between July 23 and Aug. 4 to attend one of four consecutive three-day meetings. Since 1984 is an election year, this year's multi-million dollar seminar was appropriately en-titled,"Share en-titled,"Share the Spirit." To enable Mrs. Litton, who joined Mary Kay in 1983, to share the Mary Kay spirit in the months ahead, dozens of specialized classes were held each day in product knowledge, color selection, selec-tion, sales training, business management, manage-ment, goal setting and other valuable tools for success. Besides intensive training, company founder and chairman of the board Mary Kay Ash also uses the annual meeting to personally reward and recognize the outstanding achievers of the past year. During four identical awards night extravaganzas, the company com-pany distributed more than a million , dollars worth of fur coats and jackets, luxury vacations, shopping sprees and gold and diamond jewelry. Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc., is an international in-ternational manufacturer and distributor of premium skin, hair and body care products, cosmetics, toiletries and fragrances. to I m J Wadnesdoy, August 1, 1984 Holly's Hints by Holly Baker Uintah County Home Economist Small changes - big results Habits are easier to slip into than they are to break. This principle explains ex-plains why extra weight creeps on from an extra doughnut every morning, morn-ing, and why we slowly develop flabby flab-by muscles from too many evenings in front of the TV. But with a little concentration and determination, people can "slip into" positive habits the same way. The secret is to set reasonable goals and to plan to achieve them slowly. Take exercise, for example. Dr. Kenneth Cooper, author of "Aerobics," presents step-by-step charts for building fitness through running, walking, walk-ing, swimming and cycling. His hard-and-fast rule? Don't progress faster than the charts, even if you think your body is capable of it. The goal is to establish a habit of fitness, not to win an Olympic medal. The first small step to establishing the exercise habit is to get out of the chair and do something anything every day. This could be a walk around the block, or some stretching exercises in the office of-fice before lunch. As you begin to feel the pleasures and benefits of moving your body, you'll want to increase the amount of exercise you get. Eventually, Eventual-ly, you may find that starting a formal exercise program seems like the next logical step. Eating habits can be changed the same way. The first step is to pay attention at-tention to what you eat and become aware of your current habits. Do you eat a variety of foods? Do you often eat more food than you want? Watch your eating habits carefully for several weeks, and think about how you might improve them. Then, set small goals for each day or each week. Some examples: "Today, I will try to eat only when I am hungry." "Tonight, I will eat pasta with steamed vegetables, instead of a steak." "I will try to make time for breakfast every day this week." The "small changes" technique prevents the deprived feeling that can come from being officially "on a diet." Make desserts and snacks a regular part of your diet. Just remember to count the calories in these foods as part of your daily calorie quota. A gradual increase in exercise and a gradual improvement in eating habits can lead to weight loss and better bet-ter health; more important, taking it slowly can help make the changes permanent.
