Gracious it’s late! I have been stitching my way through the afternoon and evening and I wanted to finish the flower and take a picture of getting that far for the blog post but finally I had to stop or I wouldn’t have gotten a blog post done at all!
I have come home to a needle and thread and stitching slowly through the hours and my heart is opening and my mind is going in new directions for my life. This is what I meant for my life to be, working with fiber and writing, working it all together somehow, and I don’t know what it’s going to look like or how it’s all going to turn out but right now I am happily stitching my way through the hours and something is happening inside of me. I don’t need to know what for now.
I have been afraid of so many things and sad about so many things and I am discovering that if I just take care of myself as best I can and let the return to fabric and fiber and creating with my hands take me where they want to go I will end up where I need to be.
It is so late, and I am tired, and I need to get this post up so I will just share this with you and write more later. A door has opened in my heart and I have walked through. I am on a path to somewhere new. I am ready to see where it leads…
Maitri, what a fun way to destress. The needle work is beautiful.
Gentle hugs,
Lauren

Thank you Katya honey and oh, you should! I am enjoying it so much, it is so soothing, and I think it’s good to get out of our heads/words, and let our heart and hands and body take over. I’m telling you it really does something for you. I will be writing much more about this as time goes along….
