As we grow older there is a need to engage in activities that involve hand and mind co-ordination. Craft work is one such task. Sewing, embroidery, crochet making, band making, cross-stitching – these are few I have found people drifting to. This bug has caught me too. I make bands. I use my feet, my fingers and my mind. A simple, effective way of de-stressing myself. The intricate patterns that design, the knots that I pull and the scissoring that I do helps me oblivious of the world around me. It silences my mind and makes me feel more active and energized. Sometimes, I feel more feminine, I guess that’s a bonus.
