The last few months have been stressful (aging parents) and I thought I'd lost my sewing mojo because all I've wanted to do was hand stitch/crochet/journal. Nope....I needed therapy. <br /><br />Thank you for not only discussing the situation, but for understanding that your article would inspire us to "do something" and for providing a link! :)Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-47561416403613605162021-08-29T20:42:39.985-04:002021-08-29T20:42:39.985-04:00Hi Kathy, I hope that you had a good restful day o...Hi Kathy, I hope that you had a good restful day of stitching.

I remember reading about soldiers stitching in an article years ago--it is therapeutic to create something in a quiet way, letting your mind concentrate on something pleasurable and repetitive. What an awful experience so many millions of young men and women in service endured in war times.
