The world of Little Golden Nook feels idyllic, cosy and full of love. Children play outdoors in bobbly jumpers, squishy blankets and chunky jumpers hang in inviting neutral interiors and tanned, blonde-haired designer Sandra Torrance crochets with a smile on her face, wearing several of her own gorgeous creations. The beauty of Sandra’s world is real – she really has a loving family, a creatively inspiring home and a love of outdoor stitching – but it’s only part of her story.
Sandra has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or ME/CFS, which causes extreme tiredness and inflammation – and completely changed the direction of the formeroptimism, Sandra found happiness by focusing not on what she can’t do but on what she can – and one of the things she can do, and do very well, is crochet.
