Fabric in an embroidery hoop with the words "making = moments of activity and stillness"
In the hoop today: stitching highlights from my reading and I loved @threading-time.bsky.social talking about making being made up of the moments of stillness as well as moments of activity.

Stitching progress = the diary shape is stitched along with the ''Crafting During Coronavirus' Diaries' lettering. Next steps will be embroidering 1 stitch around this outline for every 1 diary read as part of reflexivity and data familiarisation during analysis. #crmethods #creativeresearch
Huge congratulations!!

Starting to stitch (under a watchful feline eye!) and reflecting on coding yesterday where I added a 'tactilty' code - the pandemic meant shopping turned digital and what impact did this have for crafters when so much of what we do is by touch?

I've imprinted the diary shape onto fabric (with a hera marker) ready for stitch. I love this moment of pause before stitching - the excitement for where the stitching journey will go & what reflections might happen as each stitch is created to form a larger narrative of this PhD journey.
Combining stitched mark-making with NVivo mark-making as I reflect on coding, creativity & data! Huge thanks to @sumingkhoo.bsky.social for your inspirational talk recently with @drhelenkara.bsky.social and @policypress.bsky.social .
