Healing Handcrafting

What’s Been Up

A whole hell of a lot.

A groundswell of change has been occurring in slow motion but with enough energy that it’s required steady and devoted attention.

Not the kind of change that is noticeable in a dramatic way; but the kind that is developmental and familial, deep and personal.

It’s the kind of change that would be easy to miss with too much busyness and distraction. And I haven’t wanted to miss a thing.

The most normal kind of changes- aging, children driving/exploring/graduating and heading to college, personal and professional shifts and expansions, body and health related adjustments- they are all so deeply a part of everything, maybe even mundane, but they are also amazing. Passing through these thresholds while awake has taken a lot of energy and it drew from a well connected to my creative life.

I feel the well filling again.

In the air this morning is a distinct shift towards autumn. Where I live, it is always this way: each season has three months allotted to it but those months that connect to the next season have an in-between feeling. It’s hot today, but the light is different. It’s moody. The insect sounds are distinctly different than just a week ago.



I’ll share in other posts what creative explosions happened at the end of spring and early summer- incredibly fun and meaningful things that have impacted the ways I want to create in the future.

Today, I just wanted to say hi.

I am a psychologist and a fiber enthusiast. I have a deep interest in the healing effects of handcrafting, and its place in our common histories.
