A little video I made on changing size (and coming to terms with it).
Please note: I'm not looking for diet and exercise tips! Thanks so much. This is about learning to love my body the way it is. And I hope you love yours too. If you'd like to know more about any of the health issues I mentioned, here are some quick links: Hashimoto's Disease Adrenal fatigue and chronic stress Uterine fibroids Perimenopause and menopause I did a Stitch Therapy Zoom meetup on Sunday, which was awesome. I've been feeling the need to stab things multiple times, and I figure it's safest to do that on fabric and much more fun to do it in good company. It was a hoot, and we'll be doing it again on the first Sunday of each month until we can meet safely in person.
Hey, maybe even after that. If you'd like to join in, send me a note and I'll send you the link. In other news: Alter your Clothes Like a Pro starts online this Saturday. If you've been meaning to get your clothes better fitted, this is an excellent opportunity! Click on the link to sign up. This year's Opulent Mobility exhibit is shaping up beautifully. In the meantime, check out some of the artists. Penny Richards has been part of Opulent Mobility since 2015. She makes wonderful wheelchair costumes for her son Jake. How We Are is a wonderful project by Nicole Walker and Matthew Batt on how artists, writers, musicians, and thinkers are dealing with these pandemic times. They generously let me share some of my thoughts. Click on the link and spend some time checking out the other photos and essays! Thanks to you all. Let's get out the vote and keep that hope alive. |

I re*make mobility devices and materials and give them new lives. Sometimes I staple drape. Archives
