Needlepoint Is My Creative Way to Reduce Stress
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
I read the blog this morning “Response to Mindful Needlepoint” and thought about how soothing needlepoint is to me. The repetition of the stitching calms my thoughts and the creative concerns are interesting enough to require my full attention. Soon, anxious thoughts melt away. Taking a mental “time out” allows me to regroup and lets me focus on what is truly important. I was doing needlepoint on a plane and the person sitting next to me asked about my project. After discussing the canvas, the artist, and Post-Impressionism in general, I told him it was my form of meditation. His comment, “Well, it’s a lot cheaper than therapy!” Pretty perceptive of him. Of course, it has the added advantage of resulting in something beautiful for your home.
THANKS, Sherry
