There's a bug in the system

To be perfectly honest, i have not been feeling it this week. Too knackered to do anything when i came home from work, and not well this weekend, so i am feeling a combination of meh and bleurgh.

It's not been all bad. I have managed to make a necklace and earrings. These were made with beads and findings from my stash, plus a dragonfly that came in a craft box.

The combination of browns with metallic greens really pops.

I've also been working on the cross stitch - another page down, and 2.25 to go.

The weird thing is at the moment i have gotten to the point that i have so much craft stuff that i don't know what to work on next. Anyone got any ideas on how to get over crafters block?

Well, until a hopefully more productive next time,

What to do when you hit a wall?

Sorry guys, this is gonna be another pic-lite one. This is for two reasons.

I woke up the other day and it was as if someone had flipped a switch. All of the self-confidence that I had built up through my crafting over the last year has disappeared - just like that. I've spent the large majority of my life thinking that I am not good enough; in what I do, what I say, in short, in who I am. With crafts I was finally starting to believe in myself. So it is very hard at the moment, as I feel that I am right back at square one. I am hoping that this is temporary, and that I will soon feel myself again. I have to remind myself that I am very early in my crafting journey, and there are bound to be bumps along the way. I am aware that it is probably linked to my current state of high anxiety, as susta...

Milestone birthday

Not mine, but an uncle, who turned 60 this week. I made a card using some tim holtz dies. I quite like the colours I used for the skull, gives him an aged quality. I've also been working on the stitch. Here's the latest update Still looks a bit of a mess at the bottom with no discernible images, but it'd getting closer to what it should be with every stitch. Until next time Ems

Drawering a crowd

So, this week I've done something a little different. This is before... This is after.... Obviously there's two of them! These are my mums bedside drawers, which are over 30 years old and now have a new lease of life. I've also been working on the stitch. 31% down now. Until next time Ems
