Lately, I’ve been busy. Not writing the usual books but taking a bit of a breather from that to create some cross stitch patterns. Since I’m not the only one who needs a break from the draining topic of narcissism, I thought I’d share the link to them here.
I also have some crochet patterns available on my site as well. They are on this link.
I hope those of you reading this will like them. I also hope that even if you aren’t into crafts, you’ll remember that mental health breaks are very important. PLEASE take some time where you deliberately do NOT think about narcissism or your healing from narcissistic abuse. Such a draining topic requires plenty of rest & distraction to prevent you from burning out.

Oh, indeed!
Your patterns are beautiful 🙂 How do you DO them?! I wouldn’t have the first idea where to even start!

lol Always been my favorite Irish proverb, for obvious reasons.. lol
Thank you! Glad you like them! More will come.
I have a program that makes patterns! Isn’t that awesome?! The difficult part is figuring out what to make. Once I do that & take a picture or somehow create a picture, I can import it into the software & it makes the pattern for me. That’s the quick part.. the rest takes quite a bit of time to do, including putting the pattern into an ebook format. At least I got that part down pretty well now. 🙂

Wowee! I am just awed by this.
Not so awed, however, as I am that you can then take those patterns and make something gorgeous from them! 🙂

Cross stitch amazes me with the incredible pictures that can be made from it! I have a pattern for Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” in cross stitch! It’s on the “to make” list 🙂

You are so talented! I especially like the white squirrel.
We don’t have squirrels here in New Mexico, at least not in the area where we live. We do have prairie dogs, however, which are considered a ground squirrel. They can be cute, but I prefer tree squirrels.

Thank you!
What a shame you don’t have tree squirrels! They’re so cute & fun to watch. I’d guess prairie dogs are too, just different.

There are a lot of videos on “America’s Funniest” involving tree squirrels swinging around on “squirrel-proof” bird feeders!

Those feeders are kinda squirrel gymnastics! I love watching them!
Young squirrels remind me of kittens when they play 🙂

Oh, yeah! Kittens! You are exactly right about the gymnastics; LOL!
I always wanted one of those “carousel” things and a yard to put it in. Also a spiral slide. Ideally in the Memphis style.

Mitch Teemley, one of the bloggers I follow, shared a picture he took of a white squirrel a few months ago. I just went to his blog, did a quick search and found it:

I saw that post with the white squirrel. Noticed that it’s white, not albino.
