What should one be doing when facing crisis? Craft can bring some stability and feeling of achievement in time of life challenges. This is what the author is trying to convey in this short memoire. It is not the conventional type of writing, it is easy to read (there are some content warnings along the way) and somewhat relatable. Through it one can learn and better understand the challenges of mental health and how the silly –sometimes fragile– things we make with our hands can sometimes be the strong and reliable holds we need.

It is not about the pride of the maker or the importance of sharing knowledge on ancestral practices, it is about doing in order to feel being here and now, and sometimes it is everything.
