Craft as Therapy

It's not a new idea. craft as therapy. As part of my break, I had some anxiety that needed dealing with, as well as insomnia. As a result, plenty of time and plenty of nervous energy! Nothing like crocheting in cotton to keep the brain occupied and the fingers moving. I have one stitch that I can do, no idea what it is, but it's therapeautic. A perfect car craft, and with a bamboo hook, a perfect (discreet) plane craft too.




Churned out a few washcloths, little bags and baskets for kids' games, and an amusing (to me anyway) little interpretation of a favourite Baldesin statue at the National Gallery here...




Still, it keeps me busy and repairs the tired areas of the brain.

Crochet pear! Love it! I am partial to a crafty pear or two. Will there be more?

If I could only remember how I did it... Yes, there needs to be more of them!
