I have sensory-processing sensitivity -I am often overloaded by what I see and hear and I have to go off by myself to de-stress from the bombardment of stimuli. This is a brilliant graphic description of how I feel.

If it was all like the quiet side, it would be a little boring -- it's a good reminder that even in a quiet life, we sometimes need to venture into the noisy side where lots of things are going on!Textile Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00547494144471550828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-5617007616868986362021-08-01T15:11:16.933+01:002021-08-01T15:11:16.933+01:00I think the quilt is perfect.

I looked at the images before I read your explanation and I thought that the contrast of chaos and calm is very clear, and then I wanted to know what it was all about. I think the way all the details reflect your experience is really clever.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693903606189589310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236944057573310628.post-14316230254764301162021-08-01T15:05:39.522+01:002021-08-01T15:05:39.522+01:00It's perfect, Wendy.
