Crochet Comfort
At five years old, most children have wild imaginations, but learning complicated hobbies generally isn’t on their radar. They may think about digging to China through the sandpit or flying to Mars armed with only a cape like a superhero. Then, there is me. I was that kid who wanted to know about when and where the dinosaurs roamed and how old Saturn is. I was also that kid that wanted to learn to create things.

Capitalist Guilt
I find a moment of catharsis as my scissors slide through leather. The more cuts the better. As I cut through scraps and jigsaw them together, I slip into a zen state which allows me to channel all my wayward emotions into something greater than me, the birth of a piece of art which creates meaning and a new body for my hurt. For my frailty, for my happiness, for my giddy excitement. For whatever colour I feel at the time. Sometimes this meaning is esoteric even to myself, and I find myself studying the fragments of leather, held together with strong metal links and hand painted clumsily. I try to find hidden messages that I have sent myself, little scraps of information concealed within the scraps. I always end up back at the same place though – bewildered by what has just come out of me and why.

Life in Pieces
If you have ever tried to pick stitches out of Georgette silk, you can imagine how I felt just over two years ago when I found out I was pregnant. I had been attempting to get out of an abusive relationship when I realized that I was not just a little bit bloated. The delicate fabric that I imagined my life to be at the time was just ripping at every stitch I removed. Yet, when I told my family, their only response was to give me my grandmother’s sewing machine that had been sitting in the basement for over 10 years.

Fortitude.
It's something that everyone is sick of talking about, but in the same breath, it's all anybody knows how to talk about anymore. Small talk that used to consist of medial topics like the weather or phrases like "what did you do this weekend?" have now been replaced with chats about the latest daily infection numbers and vaccine percentages. In fact, I went for lunch with an old friend a couple of months ago, and as an experiment, I tried to go through the whole lunch without mentioning COVID and I found it incredibly difficult. To some people, it is comforting to talk it to death, almost like it gives a sense of control to know exactly what the current evolving situation is. I'll be the first to admit, I have been that person. There are weeks where I get incredibly anxious if I don't know the exact state of my province, only for me it stems from paranoia. Luckily i’m currently working again but i've been off three times since the pandemic began. I'm not sure which has been harder, not working at all or going to work knowing that each day could be my last. It’s a horrible way of thinking, I know, but for someone who’s only worked a handful of the last months, it is a real fear.

The little things matter - Little Happy Thoughts
I spent most of my childhood creating and crafting - it is a part of who I am, I would be lost without creating and designing. So many of my happy childhood memories were making and birthday trips to toy shops where I would buy crayola sets and "make your own"s.
