How the Ace of Cups is relevant to me
The Ace of Cups symbolises a new beginning shrouded in love and emotions. We see a hand emerging from a cloud presenting a golden chalice. The water flowing from the cups lets us know that this new beginning can come in many ways. The dove represents peace and is offering a gift of connection with the divine.
I went to bed last night with a plan for today to make a start on a new project. Well, not a new project but a return to one of my many unfinished creations! Up until the accident my craft of choice had been crochet. I was in the middle of a lovely granny square blanket, my go to winter project.
Unfortunately, my left hand has left me unable to hold crochet yarn. I am hopeful that my weekly hand therapy sessions will do their magic! Before that I had discovered macrame. I had made a few things for the house; a plant holder, kitchen roll holder and a couple of fruit/vegetable holders. I took to this craft very quickly and at the time, I considered trying to sell some of my products.
Macrame is essentially tying rope into knots to create structure and patterns in your work. I feel like I could do this without my ring and little finger so I decided that today I would set up a work station and have a go. My plan is, with lots of breaks of course, to use my current stash of rope to create as many different items as I can, take some lovely photos, create a Facebook shop and see what happens.
Over the years I have had loads of ideas of wanting to do something off my own back but it has never come to anything. A lot of it is confidence and worrying that I am not good enough.
I am finding that I don’t really care about any of that anymore. I just want to be creative and share this with other people. I need an outlet, especially at the moment.
On days where my pain is manageable, I need to take the opportunity to do something positive with my day. Today is Macrame day, my new beginning.
