TwoMe, 12 crafts in 12 months, journaling, and macrame are the foundations of “Mindful Macrame,” a new book from this week’s guest, Isabella Strambio. The show is sponsored by Sassy Jacks Stitchery and the Embroiderers’ Guild of America. Isabella is one of many who left the corporate world because it was stifling her creativity. That creative side blossomed when, at the urging of friends, she started offering macrame classes. The result, to date, is four books, and a design business that energizes her. Integrated into that business is a strong thread of mental health, which is the focus of her latest book and much of our conversation. If you are looking for some moments of peace/sanity, your chosen craft and the techniques Isabella uses can help you. The book will be released Jan. 10 and can be pre-ordered now.–Beth and Gary
