It is hard to recount the time and places of wandering after the October 7 war started, but a walk in the streets of Rome led to the procuring of the most basic sewing materials from a small shop and the creation of a menagerie of soft creatures. Nothing was planned but everything became necessary stitching inner peace during this time of war. Little creatures came to life with a calming focus. These traveling companions are filled with muslin scraps and a rebuilding of hope. Many of these became gifts for babies born after the war, but the big gift is in the making.
