Tapestry crochet redirects my mind to focus on things within my control – and since repetitive activities (like crocheting) release endorphins, I owe it my sanity. Designing new pieces stimulates my creative side and incorporating words adds another dimension. Sharing each finished project is pure joy, especially when someone notices.
I was raised to trust people, to believe what they say. Although experience has made me less naive, I’m still a walking target. I detest all lies, even the little white ones because misinformation is destroying lives and the planet. My latest pattern expresses my personal frustration but the instructions include the alphabet, for more upbeat or even darker messages. It’s cathartic!
