A Cure for Stress?

Life has been tough lately for everyone.

Problems everywhere, and people not coping at all well with any of them.

My problems have been mild compared to some, but the stress and tension have been widespread, trying to derail or upset applecarts. Some Planet must be in retrograde or something, and all I can say is I hope is that it doesn’t last too long!

It occurred to me the other day that I haven’t been doing the one thing that always used to balance the mood books, if you know what I mean. I’m talking about crafts. Any kind of crafts really, but my all time favourite has always been crochet. I like to knit too, but this has become problematic, because the patterns seem more complicated than ever.

I don’t need a pattern to crochet, and its the perfect pastime for the evenings when the family watch TV.

I have been crocheting for two evenings now, and have put my world to rights while doing it. I have wanted to make granny squares for ages, but no idea what to do with them. Somehow, that doesn’t seem to matter though.

what would you do with them?

In two days I have gone from an ageing, not coping very well, worrier, to someone I recognise again. Calm and confident, capable, I think! of almost anything…

I might try some pencil sketching soon, something I haven’t done for a long time. Yay!
