I knew from the start wanted to make a lighthouse- and that it was to be a crooked lighthouse but I wasn’t sure quite why. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and I didn’t make a commitment to High Craft because I didn’t think I had the time to ‘do the job properly’. A couple of nights before the deadline I had my bag of felt out and before I knew it I was stitching away at my crooked lighthouse- making a determined effort to have crooked stitches too. I realised on finishing my lighthouse that I really need a lighthouse to show me the direction in my life and to save me from crashing on the rocks! And as Josh Cunningham writes in the Waifs’ song Lighthouse- “steer my ship on through the storm”!
