Lately, I have many things I am working on. It always seems like I do. But this time, it feels therapeutic, in a way.
The stress over taking our little one to the endocrinologist and her upcoming test is making itself known through my body. I thought I was coping well, and rationalizing with the best of ‘em, but my back says differently. My sciatic nerve is screaming at me day and night, along with that knee I injured a while back. It is a “sound” I can do without right now.
Sewing relieves a bit of it, even though my aches persist while I am. I can put my mind to good use. I can make things. Slowly I forget to worry, and find myself caught up in a wonderful world of creation. Plus I am being productive. I enjoy that.
It always helps to have a purpose when creating. I have 3 upcoming Birthdays and a new nephew on the way.
Ah. That’s plenty.
For one of the little girl’s Birthdays, I was asked (by her parents) to make her something. They told me she likes to tie scarves around her waist when pretending to be different animals, so they asked me to make her…
TAILS.
I love love love this idea. It is beyond brilliant. I had so much fun coming up with the specifics for it.
Major distraction.
Of course, now my little girl wants some too!
Oh Michelle~ I feel for you, admire you for knowing yourself so well and also admire you for having such a brilliant and fun means of self care. Tails! how fantastic. I think I like the beaver tail best of all for it’s design! Know that I am rooting for you and your little one~she is such a peach.
that is such a cool idea! my 6 yo would love to have tails for play time! hilarious!
