The Freedom of Zen

The freedom of Zen is the ability to set down your problems. You can either set down your problems by attaining enlightenment, or, if you can’t wait for that, you can do it now. To set down your problems now, you recognize that your problems are a product of your thinking rather than a product of your environment. Although that knowledge may make it difficult to manage your mind, it makes it easier to handle your environment.

Thinking that a problem is real or not can be the difference between crippling anxiety and freedom.  If you are faced with a  hungry lion, you have a problem with your environment and you need to act accordingly. When you have escaped to safety, if you are still afraid of the lion, you have a problem with your mind, that problem is not real.

Life situations present you with a choice of action. Most of these choices we interpret as problems. The freedom comes when you learn to act without imagining that the situation demanding your action is good or bad. If the lion eats you, you’re lion food, good for the lion, bad for you. Problems come when you think the situation is bad and the idea of bad interferes with your action. This applies to all of your problems. You can deal with anything. You are free.

A little work in progress shot of a pair of cotton gloves I was making for a friend. It was a unique pair of fingerless gloves that ended up with a leather cuff and a press fastener to hold them tight. She loved the end result! Sadly no photos for now.

A neckwarmer for more than just the neck. Handmade in my studio around an original idea. Had lots of fun making this one.

A hat designed around the idea of attempting to achieve a lose, knitted “top-hat” design. Went well I say!

A pair of unique red gloves I designed using merino wool and oak. Love the oak bit.

A pair of gloves I call the “lotus”

Weird glove design.

Just finished a new sweater, no stitching nor sewing involved, this sweater is 100% knitted, a genuine one piece matter of beauty. 100% wool.

This is a set of circles ready to be made into a glove. By far one of my loveliest designs.

Talk about useful!

Why have I never thoughts of this?  I just posted about the weaver’s knot a few posts back, but this is tons better.  Source: lionbrand.com

Here we go then, a very interesting list of crafts people. Love the idea.

Calling All Crafters

Here’s the deal.

If you knit, crochet, draw, sew, quilt, weave, spin, embroider or do any kind of handmade crafting, and you have a blog, instagram, website, Etsy, ravelry or something like that please reblog this with links, or comment, or message, anything. I would love to know some more of you makers and shakers out there.

NOTE: I am not looking for crafting “inspiration” blogs. I am interested in actual creators. People who are making their own stuff. 

My end goal with this is to have a master list of crafty people.
