Crewel world

Mommy started a new project today. It's not knitting - it is a vintage needlework/applique collage. She says that she needs something to distract her... ...because today everything got turned upside down. She feels sad and mad and confused all at once... ...and just needs some time to figure out what to do. Maybe cutting up bits of felt and stitching them onto some fabric will soothe her more than mindless knitting will. Or maybe it won't. Maybe she will just cry herself to sleep instead.
