Crafting: A Stitch In Time
Apr. 23rd, 2025 12:19 amToday, for the first time in a long time I picked up my embroidery paraphernalia: hoop and cloth, thread, needle, threader, scissors.
I'd been on a regime of wearing my compression gloves when typing, and it had eased the numbness. Now we'd see if I could get back into the hobby that, in all honesty, has really given me the most relaxation ever.
I did. I finished two words on the project that I put on hiatus last year. (This is my current project; at the moment I'm stitching the letters around the picture. On the good side: I'm really good at back stitch, because it's the second stitch you learn. On the bad side: it's a lot of back stitching.)
Eyal is ecstatic.
Crafting is pretty freaking awesome for the soul.
