Yoga for my brain

Dropping in to say hi. I am still here, but very very busy. The kids are finishing school next week and there is something going on every day. Excursions, shows, parties, sports events... Pic-nic bags to prepare, pick ups and drop offs, dentist appointments, speech therapy... The list goes on.

I am on the slow burner with my crochet. But I manage to sqeeze in a moment here and there. The vintage stripes are great to work with in stressful times. I am almost finished with this baby blanket. It is very soothing, working every colour back and forth row by row.

My hooking is like yoga for my brain. Couldn't live without it. I just wish I had discovered this wonderfully crafty therapy earlier when the kids were really small and life was incredibly chaotic... It would have saved me puddles of tears, desperation and break downs... Now I just sit down with my hook when things feels out of control. Back to center - breath - hook - breath - focus. What a wonderful therapy. Especially here, under the tree a warm and sunny afternoon. Going straight back there now.

Ciao!
