Basically, I live to craft and craft to give. Five years ago I suffered from migraines that lasted several days at a time. I was suffering up to 21 days a month. Getting out of bed was very hard for me and my love for people was dying. My family was falling apart. I found my love for crafting again right after Hurricane Katrina. Crafting has eased my migraines to now only being one or two every 6 months. I am no longer taking expensive medicine to ease the pain. I tell everyone that crafting is my therapy. I find relief by concentrating on my love for charity giving and crafting to help others. I have found many new friends along the way in the Yahoo group circuit where I have my group. I now can cable knit, use dpns, and 2 circular needles at one time. I built a webpage and now a new blog to expand my creativity with my crafting to include many others as we unite for many causes to help ease the pain for others. I know pain. No one else should have to feel that pain. Crafting for me is more than yarn and a hook or needles…it is my daily dose of love. Love for myself and lots of love for others! I craft to live and live to give.
