V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

  " The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE     Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!

Welcome to Inspired Me 411! Here's a question, would you rather wash dishes or craft???? My hand is up for CRAFTING!!!! Do you ever feel like spending time doing arts and crafts is "lollygagging"  or wasting time? During this global pandemic, most of us are busy cooking, cleaning, home schooling, working and other tasks. We are all in need of some personal play time especially now, right? When I am at my art table, I feel peaceful and that result has been good enough for me. But as I was doing some research, I discovered much, much more was happening in my body and mind. The research tells the benefits based on scientific, psychological, historical and personal accounts. I am not a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist or scientist but I am a woman who has faced depression, anxiety and related conditions for years.
