[Made] a note in the leaves

Passed a little stall near the station this morning – someone had put together this whole rustic arrangement with dried leaves, a couple pinecones, and a tiny handwritten note tucked into it. The note just said “for someone having a rough week.”

Leaves Rustic

I’ve been trying to give my hands a break from typing out cover letters by picking knitting back up, and looking at this made me want to try something with all the leaves piling up outside my building instead of yarn for once. Stood there for a good 10 minutes before I kept walking to the interview.

    The 10 minutes you spent just standing there before walking off to the interview says a lot about how much you needed that note today. I switched from knitting to needle felting around 3 months ago for basically the same reason, my hands were cramping every night after typing all day, and it ended up being way more forgiving when my stress is running high like that.

    needle felting with leaves sounds oddly satisfying, might actually try that next time my hands need a longer break than knitting gives!
