Introduction
In a world driven my online technology and moving ‘on’, turning ‘on’, no wonder we find it hard and guilt enticing to switch off. This has made our judgement of lets call them ‘timeless’ crafts a dwindling affair. Time is money, craft, done well takes time. Not ours.
This researched and thought out title, brought into written existence by Doris Fischer, brings the past into the present, the workable present.
I love the undercurrent of Better Day Books. Built on a foundation of wellness, care for ourselves, for each other, for our minds. All are themes which can be underlying causes for stress - why we are not “okay” inside. As an artist myself, I believe that ‘a stitch in time’ can really save a mind. The question is, do you? Do you understand the need for wellbeing activities? Let’s use this book as a guide for that aspect of your life.
