25th March 2024 Kala & Beena
Hello everyone! I am excited to share with you a beautiful crochet work by Kala, who has contributed a lot of her art to this website. She recently took up Granny Square crochet and has poured enormous energy into it💃🏽.
To make this table runner, Kala had to stitch together many squares of crochet work. Even though she noticed some mistakes when she was 80% done, she pushed through because crochet gave her so much joy. She relished those happy moments🤗.
During our conversation this morning, Kala told me that crocheting helps her to be in the present moment. That’s exactly what we need right now. We should focus on being in the moment rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. If being present can bring us joy, why not cherish each moment? That’s what I saw in Kala’s beautiful table runner: the word “JOY” jumped out at me. I didn’t see any flaws. Let me know your thoughts on this topic😊🙏.

I totally agree with you and Kala.
Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections. I can’t see the imperfections.
We ought to see and apply that in friendships too not to focus on mistakes or imperfections .

I had a similar experience as Kala when I was consumed by my passion to sew back in 2016 when I first bought my Juki sewing machine. Everyday I would jump out of bed, raring to sew. At the onset of pandemic, I was consumed by my passion to draw and paint everyday. Nothing else mattered during those 2 phases of my life. 😊
It’s an absolutely stunning piece as are all of Kala’s art work..vibrant and joyful
Yes, Suchi, all her art is vibrant just like her:):)

Hi Nyuk
Glad that you liked it,
Beena
whatever one does if you put your heart and soul into it you will get enormous happiness when finished
Yes Nandu, that is spot on. And you enjoy every moment of it. Thats why some people who are unhappy in their workplaces, should change jobs. Only when your heart is there for that job, you can perform well. Many just take up a job because that is what they got. It takes a brave person to see that difference.
