I knit, crochet, spin, and have done some experimenting with weaving and natural dye. I’m also a technical writer, mom to 3 boys, and enjoy gardening. View all posts by madgeface

Inspiration struck! I hope this message isn’t a newsflash for anyone - I think of it both as encouragement to speak up (which I tend not to do) and as a reminder to choose my words carefully. I wouldn’t have thought to make this at all but I love the work of @ohmygollyembroidery & @badasscrossstitch. Also, the inspiration came mainly from quotes & comments I posted on @littlegoldennotebook yesterday & today. ... #embroidery #embroideryart #embroidered #yourwordsmatter

To follow up on my comments on yesterday’s post, this is what depression feels like for me, too - merely feeling sad (or anything, actually) is a relief & a sign of coming out of it. Please think carefully before you throw around words about mental illness like depression, bipolar, manic, crazy, etc.; there’s usually a better word that describes what you mean that won’t minimize or make light of someone’s illness. Words matter. ... #quotes #quotestoliveby #quotesaboutdepression #quotesaboutanxiety #mentalhealth #kindnessmatters #fuckdepression #feelgood3by5 #kayredfieldjamison #kayredfieldjamisonquotes #kayredfieldjamisonquote #wordsmatter #chooseyourwordscarefully #thisishowitfeels #mentalillness #mentalillnessisreal
