When the Tides Change...

Dear readers,

For the last year and a half, I’ve been on the brink. My health has been dreadful! I’m not going to go into too many details but suffice it to say that my arts have been extremely impacted by my diagnosis. I have severe asthma/COPD, and everything I do feels like slugging my body through quicksand.

I haven’t been sewing much this past year! At first, I kept trying to get myself to sew. I chose some basic projects. Over time I have been really resistant to sewing. My visual arts help me to cope with stress in a more soothing way, and have been helping me to experience more peace through the winds of change. I haven’t been that into eco fashion since I got sick! I gained weight, and my old clothes stopped fitting. I’ve been shopping sales just to keep afloat.

Since I am so sick, my days of being an eco warrior are probably over. I just wanted to post that here, so that I can be transparent and open about it! I’m just trying to make it day by day at this point. Be on the lookout because I may be destashing some sewing patterns and supplies soon! I will always be into eco arts! They just change shape over time. I was trying to hang on to who I used to be, but in an effort to accept where I am today I have to let go. Thank you for understanding!
