There’s a quiet magic that happens when your hands meet thread and fabric or paper. Stitch by stitch, the nervous system softens. Breath deepens. The mind slows enough for the heart to catch up.

Sewing grounds you in the present moment, calms anxious loops, and offers the simple relief of creating something beautiful with your own hands. It’s not just a craft — it’s a gentle act of self-regulation and self-love. 💛

Happy days as I love completing a slow project in contrast to my hectic life.

"Women's crafts" have been devalued over the years - it's time to recreate creativity.
It's perfection in its acceptance of it's imperfections.
Now to find the next project and an invitation to myself to be freer, choose to not follow a pattern, go with the flow.
Also to post everything I make without internal censorship, to free this process in all my affairs - trust my gut, stop censoring the invitations of beauty and warning ....⛔️❤️

2nd attempt at Polaroid Lift today - poor photograph of it I am afraid - now to embroider over it ...

no comments about the theme of favourite doggo please but she is a constant source of joy and reliability which is vital right now.

When the world is topsy turvy there is always family, a dog and art ❤️

Attempts at a new skill !
Unpicking so often when I pick the "wrong colour" shows me that planning might need to change, or perhaps perfectionism & judgement .....
