Today building these items proves again that this is where i find my peace. My wife got a now job offered yesterday so happy on one side but on the other side a best friend and colleague got diagnosed with kidney cancer and spread to his hart l, lymph and stomach wall which makes me very sad. The painting in this kit helps me process and clear my head.

your tool to hold your wooden sticks is awesome. Can you recommend it to me?

Such difficult moments! I’m really happy for your wife, but yes, happiness can’t feel complete with that kind of news 
Sending you lots of strength! It’s wonderful that you’re able to find some peace through your hobby. And thank you for sharing it, expressing what we feel is so healthy, even though we often don’t do it.

@Jerry_Boswijk Very difficult. You want to be happy for your wife and you should be and that is ok. But then saddened by your friends news. Support and presence are important. I do believe in prayer - not always answered like I want but never hurts.
But important is peace for you and it is good to care for yourself too.
Take moments to care for yourself which wil only lead to ability to work through all this. We are here for you!
