Between taxes, work, bills, cleaning, organizing and other necessary activities in my days, I am finding that making fun and festive felted or crocheted flowers & animals relieves stress! When I need a break, I pull out some wool to create something new!
The owls above are an experiment for the perfect small toy for my granddaughter who I will be off visiting in another week. The flowers give me hope and make me smile!
The daffodil came about after watching hours of news about the eathquake and tsunami in Japan while also working on my online course I teach. I needed a break and went off to felt a flower that represents hope and prayers. My heart goes out to the many people in the middle of the devastation or those who are waiting to hear if their family members are safe.
I could not wrap my mind around what I was watching ~ it was like watching something from a science fiction movie. For me, integrating all that is happening both in my day to day world as well as in the larger world comes through making things.
Stay tuned in. I'm thinking of more animals to crochet and felt. Totem animals may be next.
