Ganglia – inspired by one company I worked for years ago, I found myself crocheting this piece as a calming meditation.
I stopped one day and just looked around me and wondered: HOW could we still be in business acting the way we do? Clusterbackstabbing everywhere.
The only answer I could come up with was that our competitors were doing the same?
Poor ganglia …
I’m happy to report they’re much better now.
A decorative work of art to commemorate that you’ve done your Tampon Time and you’re Free At Last!
This art object of a tampon symbol is beautifully hand crocheted out of metallic gold thread and hangs in a distinctive black shadow box.
Gold trophy labels celebrate “Golden Tampon” and “Lifetime Achievement Award”.
Give it to your partner or spouse, your best friend, or even yourself!
Makes a great menopausal gift or post-menopausal gift although it’s probably not a minstrel gift.
Celebrate newfound liberation with The Change! Freedom from The Curse! Get some of the best medicine, as they say. Laugh off those hot flashes!
This month (June 2013) I’ll be teaching how to make this Cocky Heart in San Jose, CA.
You’d probably want to know how to crochet first but even if you just want to watch, you’d be welcome. Let me know if you want details. It’s a small group with limited seating.
This project is being billed as a heart with a secret inside. Could be a flower or fireworks or whatever. It’s YOUR heart so you can put whatever you want in it, or at least whatever you can crochet or attach. We do meet to crochet but if you want to knit or sew or use chewed gum to make one of these with us, you’d be welcome.
See a video of using one of these made out of 100% cotton, you know, the yarn that’s typically used for dishcloths.
And here’s a video of how these grow in my garden.
How did I come up with this idea? Years ago on Valentine’s Day I was going out to listen to some music with my partner of a number of years. I really wanted to crochet that evening while listening to music and asked if that would be ok with him. He said sure, as long as I made something for him.
Well, it probably wasn’t for him but it did elicit a good laugh.

What if it was normal to walk into your grandmother’s house and see a doily on the end table that said “Fuck War”?
What if we had a deep common understanding across people all over this world that war is unacceptable, that alternatives exist and should be – must be – used at all costs to work out our differences instead of war?
What if politicians’ constituencies (us us us!) all over the world voiced this message so consistently everyday, like with a doily in their home, or writing it on their body with henna or a tattoo, or skywriting on Veterans Day?
What if we all understood the high costs of war to each and every one of us and said so in many ways over and over?
Could we possibly make war again?
