Cross stitching or crosswords?

In our house we have one who is addicted to crosswords and another who uses the same kind of down time doing cross stitching. The cross stitching one usually comes up with lovely samplers or bookmarks, or in this case a lavender sachet, now filled with lavender dried flower heads. And she gives the camera addict another subject to photograph.
And the crossword addict? Well, the results of her ruminations give her equal satisfaction, help her deal with insomniac bouts, and then end up in the recycle bin.

Apparently keeping the mind active doing things like crosswords can help ward off whatsisname, um, Alzheimer's. Did I mention that it can also help ward off Alzheimer's?
Of course studying exposure and lighting can probably do the same. Such things can tax both mind and imagination to the maximum.

The camera addict made a lovely image of this pretty sachet. I really love the shades of purple and sage green.

Beautiful work, both the cross-stitching and the photograph. It is always good to have something to occupy the fingers and the mind! V
