Lots and lots of what I have been about these past nine months is about having cancer. It has occupied a good deal of my physical energy and a surprising amount of my psychic energy as well.
But for once I would like to point out that while I have required above average amounts of medical assistance these past months, that I have just now really started to make progress on my creative recovery, and the local shop, Home Ec, has been a key ingredient in that success.
I just love this shop. It has all the wonderful touches that I would never be able to swing in a home craft room even if I were to have one. It has lots of wonderful handmade things that are tastefully arranged and impeccably put together. The teachers that I have had (one for a napkin making class and another for an oilcloth tote bag making workshop) teach with a perfect blend of instruction and hand holding mixed with let yourself go and pick up the pieces later. I had been stuck in not getting much done to what is true now, having completed projects and looking forward to what I might do next. Please check them out if you need an injection of creativity into your craft life.
