I find a huge amount of reassurance in the hand-made and the homemade, in the rejection of perfection, and I take great comfort in the fact that there are still many domestic artists for whom the "actual doing of things is in itself a joy"
my mother is one of those artists (especially when knitting) that believes that the actual doing of the thing is in itself a joy. it calms her to knit all the time and she gets great products from her time spent relaxing. win win.
Boy, no kidding! This time I was the winner because I wore the shawl she made me yesterday and I received so many compliments!!! Win Win!!!
