Hello?
Is there anyone out there? This covid isolation and anxiety just keeps getting deeper, doesn't it?
(Holding onto the creative light!)
But I'm still here, and you are too.
And we are still making things, which proves we are here, since what we make can only exist if we do.
And we are giving the things we make to other people, proving to them they are in the thoughts of someone else; therefore they also exist.
We might need a vaccine to beat covid, but we can beat isolation with our creative hands and hearts.
In this second wave of covid, I decided what I could do is to have a month of sales to encourage the making of gifts for the holidays.
Please make, and give things you make to family, to friends, and to anyone you know is alone (or might feel alone) right now.
When we give things we make to other people, we prove to them they are in the thoughts of someone else, therefore they are alive and connected, and they matter.
Giving handmade gifts has always mattered, but with all the isolation covid is causing, this year it matters more.
(Me, with a cushion my grand daughter made for me,
with help from her mom, when she was 3 or 4 :-)
Thinking of you as we stay covidly cautious and creatively courageous apart, together.
