Crafting has been in the news about stress relief... I do it when the toddler naps, or I do something I am making up when he's awake... I did cross stitch for me... Something I wanted to do and enjoy. And I love it, and would recommend it even if you only get 10 mins stitching and the dishes don't get done... Mums need to look after your self's as well... I'm a mum of 3 and a pup and a cat I find time to stitch or read...
