Two things help me cope:
- Humour
- Art/Arts and crafts (incidentally, why is it arts & crafts and not art & craft? English is such a weird language 🤣).
As a child, I learned crochet, sewing and embroidery from my grandmother. We spent many a great afternoon having coffee and making stuff together and -unlike whoever my current teacher at that moment was- she was never put off by the fact I was left-handed. I also learned other various crafts at school but as I grew up, I forwent them for the pursuit of science.
Three or fours years ago, however, during a three week stay at the mental health hospital ward, my awesome assigned occupational therapist had me working on various crafting projects twice a week. That re-kindled my love for the arts & crafts.
Now I do papercrafts and I am also teaching myself some graphic design. This piece I made last year is based on a tutorial for typography-based design by Design Cuts -who are fantastic, by the way- but I changed their quote for a coffee related one. Because, you know, coffee.
Do NOT get between a Colombian and her coffee. Ever!
Um, yeah… I have a weird sense of humour. I know.

Do you still craft my friend? :) xo
I do! I have bene crocheting (the cats here are delighted with their new crocheted toys!) painting and journaling. One of these days I’ll start blogging again. Hopefully 🤪😂
