Is Crafting A Want or a Need? Projects, Milestones & Family - Episode 207

Welcome to Episode 207 of Penelope’s Chinwag! Today, I’m reflecting on the tiredness that comes from good, busy times, the creative urge versus the "need" to craft, and sharing some family milestones. I also share a finished knitting project—a huge shawl/blanket designed by Helen Stewart—along with the yarns used, before diving into some personal reflections on life, family history, and what meaningful conversations have meant to me over the years. We finish off with a peaceful look at the seaside as summer draws to a close. 00:00 - The Need to Craft & Catching Up 03:50 - Macaron Keepsakes 07:00 - Tommy Starts School 08:23 - 24 Birds by Helen Stewart 13:40 - "Who Am I" & Family History 19:52 - Seaside Reflections & Goodbye Thank you so much for watching and spending time with me!
