Mend, rethink, transform, recreate!

Mending your favorite fabric items--from jeans to sweaters to sofa covers--becomes a true art form in Creative Mending. In this book, mending guru Hikaru Noguchi shows you her entire range of valuable techniques--from embroidery and patching to darning and felting--that are just challenging enough for experienced menders.

Noguchi's basic rules of mending are that the repair should suit the fabric and its user, and that there are lots of creative ways to create beautifully customized repairs--some subtle, others making a statement.

She provides 13 techniques that show you how to:

• Apply creative repairs to both knitted and woven fabrics
• Use yarn, floss, ribbon, and fabric to reinvent well-loved garments
• Make understated repairs that add just a touch of contrast, color, or texture
• Use visible mending techniques for bold repairs
• Darn with felt to add body and dimension to a repaired item
• Match your repairs to the damage, the fabric, and the wearer
• Maneuver through tricky places like inseams and underarms
• And more!

The 13 illustrated lessons and over 300 color photos in this book provide detailed examples for all the basic techniques. Lots of variations plus plenty of tips and examples (67 in all) provide you with all the guidance you need to rethink and repair beautifully.

The stunning photos will inspire you to get creative on that fraying neckline or worn elbow!

A guide for parents whose adult children have cut off contact that reveals the hidden logic of estrangement, explores its cultural causes, and offers practical advice for parents trying to reestablish contact with their adult children.

"Finally, here's a hopeful, comprehensive, and compassionate guide to navigating one of the most painful experiences for parents and their adult children alike."--Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Labeled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists and researchers, estrangement is one of the most disorienting and painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents. However, the reasons for estrangement are far more complex and varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of the lives of their adult children and grandchildren.

As a trusted psychologist whose own daughter cut off contact for several years and eventually reconciled, Dr. Joshua Coleman is uniquely qualified to guide parents in navigating these fraught interactions. He helps to alleviate the ongoing feelings of shame, hurt, guilt, and sorrow that commonly attend these dynamics. By placing estrangement into a cultural context, Dr. Coleman helps parents better understand the mindset of their adult children and teaches them how to implement the strategies for reconciliation and healing that he has seen work in his forty years of practice. Rules of Estrangement gives parents the language and the emotional tools to engage in meaningful conversation with their child, the framework to cultivate a healthy relationship moving forward, and the ability to move on if reconciliation is no longer possible.

While estrangement is a complex and tender topic, Dr. Coleman's insightful approach is based on empathy and understanding for both the parent and the adult child.

Desde pequeños nos enseñan conductas de cuidado personal respecto al físico: lavarnos los dientes, bañarnos, arreglarnos las uñas, comer, aprender a vestirnos...

La propuesta de este libro es a la vez simple y compleja: enamórate de ti, sé valiente, comienza el romance contigo mismo en un yo sostenido que te haga cada día más feliz y más resistente a los embates de la vida cotidiana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:

Ever since we are little, we are taught certain personal-care behavior: how to brush our teeth, take a shower, fix our nails, eat, get dressed... But what about psychological care and mental health?

This book's proposal is both simple and complex: fall in love with yourself, be brave and start loving yourself to continuously create a "self" that makes you happier and resilient to life's constant beating each day that goes by.
