This little section is reserved for those little tidbits of information I know hope will be of interest to my readers. Check back often, as I plan on doing a regular update.

 

 

Because I receive a monthly hard copy of Many Voices, I'd forgotten about their website. When I stumbled across it just now and began reading its Monthly Queries column, I knew I'd have to share it with my readers. You can send in questions of your own, or respond to those who are having a hard time dealing with their DID. (They will also send you a free copy of their magazine.)

 

 

 

This delightful little film is full of vibrant colors. I loved the ending. (After clicking on the link, scroll down to There Is Something In This.)

 

 

 

This is a must read: Wild Child's Brother: What Did He Know?

 

 

 

Help For DID is a powerful little video which left me feeling both wistful and hopeful. Please watch it at your discretion as it could be triggering.

Healing the Soul has a poignant blog entry entitled Why Didn't I Tell Someone?, a story which far too many sexual abuse victims know by heart.

 

 

 

I love the simplicity of the collected photos and quotations found here.

 

 

 

 

Catatonic Kid has an informative article, Practical Guide to PTSD on her blog. You can check it out here.

Need help finding a therapist? The website for the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation is a good place to start. There's a whole lot of other excellent information as well that's worth checking out.

I found this website helpful, How MPD (DID) works: An Inside View. I'm still trying to figure out the inner workings of a (ok, my DID system) and really like how this article explains it.

More Christmas Gifts

DateMonday, December 8, 2008 at 1:11PM

I've finally finished Izzy's markers roll up . . .  the hardest part was the rick-rack; I've never used the stuff before, so it's a bit uneven. This is how it looks opened. The label reads, "Nana Made it For Me."

Sissyface wanted a pouch for her purse; yesterday I made her the pouch rollup and decided today to go ahead and do what I'd planned to do originally. I've never tried putting in a zipper before, so this was quite a challenge for me. Anyone see my big mistake? Yikes, I put it in on the side instead of the top of the pouch! But it still turned out pretty well, so I'm giving it to her anyway. Here's the other side--isn't this the cutest material? I don't know if this photo will show up very well, it's the lining material with words from a grade school book. That's it for now. I've got about 10 more things to make before Christmas. My kids have got to stop having kids, it's wearing me out!

Where did you find those fabrics? The one with the text is such a neat idea.

They were a set of fat quarters that I got at Joann's Fabrics. I just love that kind of material!

Oh Beauty, these are wonderful.

You must make these for Etsy...!!!
Impressed isn't the word. These are really, really good. The "imperfections" on them make them perfect, they really do.
