OT: Hanging around

Keep up with the lurking. It's a start.

Perhaps you could try a little hand quilting while you are feeling so crook? I find a SMALL project , like a pin cushion or a small pillow: something that can be picked up and put down as the mood hits. Something really portable and not too important.

If you don't have need/desire for more pin cushions, maybe the pieces could be used for File fronts or diary covers. I make a square of whatever, the last one was a sashiko sample started at a class, about a foot square. The stitching didn't take very long, but it will pop inside the front cover of a file and be used for loose leaf photos, or sumsuch. They make good 'thank you' presents.

The pleasing thing about hand stitching is, it takes all the concentration (doesn't leave any headspace for negative thinking) but has a rhythm that is soothing. There is only one needle, on e thread, so need for concentration on a pattern. You just follow the line and there it is. Even five minutes a day can be an achievement.

As long as your mantra is TANQP!

Above all, take care of you, and set aside a little time each day to nurture your true self. Be kind.
