It’s August, and around where I live, this is the part of the summer where humidity in the air is so thick, a person could almost wrap up in and wear it. A day like today has clouds moving in, a high heat index, the distant rumble of thunder, and before you turn around twice…there’s a pop up rainstorm.
Not just talking about the weather today. I know, I know, the garden out back just LOVES the rain and it’s good for growing the vegetables.
But it changes whatever else I might’ve planned for the day, this weather has. It’s a perfect day for catching up on inside projects. OR reading a good book*, maybe working on a crafting project**, or taking a nap. Maybe all three.
I COULD catch up on some television viewing, but honestly…t.v. news and broadcasts during most times (but especially during a political/election year) aggravates me in ways that are most surprising. I search for “balance,” in my personal and public interactions. And so…I create:
Potholders.
From sock loops.
I’ll most likely be making a lot of these, and while admitting that they are based on craft projects I remember from my childhood(many years ago) I am finding this activity very therapeutic even now, as many things made by hand seem to be able to do.
I’ll wish you well on your creative journey, too. Please leave a comment if you wish, and let me know how it’s going.
Happy creating!
