Hi @CheerBear,

Yes happy for u to answer my questions on the "still struggling" thread. Thanks so much! ☺

Thanks @CheerBear for being so open and willing to share of ur experience to help others - in this case, me! It rly means a lot. Those of us that are new to this and still trying to work our way thru it and get our head around it can rly benefit from what so many others hav alrdy bn thru.

Im still trying to work thru the 'self care' side of things, what works for me, but knitting, especially in the company of my mum is therapeutic. Mum has had her own significant struggles with MI so she is one of those people who rly gets it bcoz she has been there. She has bn a wonderful support to me, tho it has to be moderated bcoz she also has some physical health issues so i dont want to lean on her too heavily. But it is a blessing when we get together.

Im hoping that when i find some things to make for my dog for food dispensing that that will b therapeutic as well.

Thanks re the crocheting! Is it hard? Does it take long to learn? Are there many things that u need to buy for it (money is tight). I have also thought of starting beading again. I did it many years ago and still hav much of the tools, and a lot of the beads and things needed to do it so it shldnt cost me too much, just that i cant remember anything about what to do so wld need to take a class or something. But that cld be very therapeutic too i think becoz u rly hav to concentrate. Havnt bn able to find anywher near me that does classe unfortunatrly - probably cldnt afford it neway! Might look online for some tutorials or something. Anyway, thanks for the 'chat'. Look forward to hearing from u on the other thread too. ☺

Thanks @CheerBear , look forward to it when u hav time ☺

@outlander thanks. Its actually alcohol ink on a primed canvas. Droplets, hairdryer and lots of fun messing around 🙂

@salzie Love your artwork

@CheerBear This thread is over 2 years old. WTG!

Today I used some old hat ribbon leftover from my nan to decorate a sunhat and sewed 2 knitted poppies onto a lovely battered purple felt hat I found this weekend at the opshop.
