I listen to music, all kinds of music and embroider and draw as much as possible. The lyrics often will comfort me, let me cry or make me smile or give me a kick in the butt. Somehow the right music passes along and the energy is found in my stitching work. See you. Elizabeth Hej Mal,

Being stuck, not coming forward. I listen to music, all kinds of music and embroider and draw as much as possible. The lyrics often will comfort me, let me cry or make me smile or give me a kick in the butt. Somehow the right music passes along and the energy is found in my stitching work.

See you.

I have always held to the idea that something which is "right for me right now" may not always be so (and vice versa) and that has been a good process for me to accept and let go. I am working on the next wreath and will post some progress this week. @Liz: There is something very calming for me in this comment, and I thank you for writing it!

I've realized that for me, the impermanent nature of the artwork is a way of reminding myself that eventually whatever I'm going through will be dealt with and psychically transformed into something new or different. Memories erode and change...and so does the artwork. This has been a comfort to me both when I make the artwork and when I go back to look at it months or years later. Keep us informed as to what your yo-yo's and wreaths turn into! Hi Mal,
