I've started up on my knitting again, which is helping me get through some of the stress and tension. I finished a scarf for the boychild and now I'm knitting a scarf for me. I used to rely on the looms that Provo Craft sells, but I really wanted to get some good physical therapy for my hands so I actually used needles. This is a method Baldman can use to test my mood; when my knitting is tight, it means I'm stressed; looser it is, the better mood I am in.
And I installed my old Sims 2 games onto this computer. I've tried Sims 3 in the past and didn't like it, but really needed something to get my creativity on that doesn't take up a lot of space in the house. I want to design our dream house. I wish someday the guys from Extreme home makeover could do the same for my house. I miss my crafting space and my ability to express myself with art and color. I am hoping knitting helps me get that release, too....
Maybe if I relax enough, we can get pregnant without the drugs.
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee (AKA The Yarn Harlot, awesome blog and great books) says, "I don't knit because I'm patient. I'm patient because I knit." For me it's awesome therapy.
ReplyDeleteyeah it definitely helps with the patience. It calms me down to see something cool being made with my own hands. the only problem I have is that I don't knit fast enough to be able to do projects in multiple colors to match my moods. Only one at a time (for now LOL).
