Recycling

Iam feeling extremely extremely extremely low these days. Thats why the long absence from here. Not that things were smooth earlier, but we were facing them. But my mother, one of the most important persons in my life, is not doing very well healthwise. Iam very upset because of that. We had a long episode in the hospital, while I was in India, which includes a surgery. Now she is at home and I might go back to be with her for some more time. The recovery is expected to progress very slowly. Might take a year or so. So we are praying and trying to be strong and supportive.

I had lost my will to do anything, let alone crafty. But now I have decided I need to do these things to keep myself from going insane. Had kept a pair of shoeboxes earlier and had thought I will do something with them. So this is what I made from one of them today.


And I really felt better after finishing it. The fabric is from an old kaftan of mine.

  1. I have been wondering and worrying about you since you had not posted in so long. I'm so sorry to hear about your mother... I will definitely keep her in my prayers. Sewing is definitely a good outlet... love what you did with the shoe box! Hugs to you.
