Calming The Storm
I think like many there are times when I need to find ways to calm the mind when a frantic unremitting storm is raging. I have utilised all manner of distractions to ease the mind as can be evidenced by the random nature of my posts!
In the past I have dabbled at cross stitching which I found amazing to bring calm to a troubled sea. I’ve only ever completed simple kits but watching the image grow from a few stitches I found was incredibly therapeutic.
I think we all need to find ways to distract the mind to allow us a chance to have respite from thoughts, benign or other, racing through our heads.
We all need time off sometimes………
Absolutely gorgeous!!! 😍😍😍
Thank you! 😊
Excellent stitching, looks really therapeutic! Good distraction !!👍
Thank you and it is very therapeutic! 😊
Indeed!
😊
That stitching is amazing. But how have you done stitching, clay sculptures, children’s stories for your daughter, a comic book and poetry , 🤔🤔
Thank you! These all have been over a number of years, I’m just digging it all out 😊
Ohh, okay 🥰🥰
😊
Wonderful. For me, it’s crochet.
Thank you! Crochet just baffles me. I don’t think my mind works that way! 😊
Haha! It’s easy really—once you get the hang of it. Anything to focus the mind—whichever way the mind works! 🙃
I may one day try to work it out! 😊
Excellent! And I am inspired with your clay creations. 😊
Thank you! Th clay creations are not too tricky. The magic trick is to use a pasta maker/press to make the various component parts…shhh…it’s a secret 😊
Secret is safe with me. 🤐 The magic is the way you express your imagination. To see it in your mind’s eye…and then bring it forth. Super cool.
Thank you 😊
Good Way to calm a storm, but also your soul too
I agree! 😊
My daughter does counted cross stitch to relax, and she has made some remarkable creations. I knew a neurologist who knitted with his wife.
I bet your daughters are amazing! I haven’t done it for a year or so and they were all pretty simple but I did find it so relaxing 😊
The octopus and the bee are both very cute!
Thank you so much! 😊
