Crafting....therapy or cause to get therapy?

I have always been a bit scattered brained when it comes to creative persuits.  One day I would want to sew and one day paint and then the next some other interesting craft.  Creativity is who I am.  At least I know that much about myself. 

Lately I have been a bit yarn obsessed.  When I visit my local craft store I am the loon feeling all the fibers.  People have given me looks and probably think I am off my rocker and perhaps I am a bit.  You kind of have to be if you are as obsessed as I am about crafting.  I think about it all the time...especially when going through any kind of change or struggle.  Even now with my father sick and my own concern for my family's well-being and our own personal financial situation.  I know its not uncommon to anyone else in this world but I have a tendency to downward spiral when things get to me.  Luckily because of my fiber obsession and my children and neices I am able to rebound pretty quickly.  One reason is out of necessity and one is because it is so nice to emmerse myself into a project.  I wonder if I am the only crazy nut who does this.

Next on the website I am creating hand made washcloths out of Lion Brand Cotton Ease.  This is a wonderful fiber both soft and easy to work with.  Unlike 100% cotton which can be rather stiff to the touch when working with it it is a soft combinaiton of cotton and other fibers.  It washes wonderfully as well.

Onward.....to create and re-create....
