I have a strong compulsion to “make”. I often ask myself if recovering chairs and reworking clothing patterns is a worthy use of my time when there is so much hurt, so much need and so much “message” surrounding us. But maybe the question is the same as the answer. Maybe we create BEcause there is so much hurt, so much need, and so much “message” surrounding us. We “sew” to stay sane; we “create” to comfort; and we “build” to broadcast hope. If so, may it grow!
