Yep, we knew that :) Sewing has soothed my soul for years, and more recently going through breast cancer treatment. It was the only thing I could do to totally get away from my thoughts.
I felt this, intuitively but evidence is always good in this day and age. I have wondered for a long time if my mother's dementia and alzheimer's is made worse because she can no longer knit and sew as she always has. When she watches me work, she steps back in time and seems so sad that she can't do it any more.

ReplyDeleteSuch a good article...thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteI agree as I am at home so much that I don't know what I'd do without it.
ReplyDeleteMy GP supports crafting/sewing for the same reasons. Except I have to do more creative stuff from time to time. I love his diagnosis!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Well I had better get back to the machine :)
