Freedom

 I've not done much this week, so this will be a short one. I had actually started a project, but it went catastrophically wrong, so I had to chuck it. Sometimes you have to know when to give up on something, and not waste more time on it. You also need to learn that when something does fail, it doesn't mean that you are a failure. You can work hard on something, and it can still fail, sometimes due to pure luck. Its important to remember that. Its actually been a week of failure craft wise, as I actually ruined two moulds as well. Luckily, I bought them on sale so its not a massive loss. 


I have made a simple pair of earrings this week. They were gold coloured, but I have a perfect vintaj colour to make them more appropriately coloured to the statue of liberty. 



I've also done work on the stitch. I'm on the last page now, so should be finished by the end of January I think. 


I'm going to try and go back to some basics next week. Its been a while since I've done some simple stamping, so im gonna do some. 

Until next time

Not mine, but an uncle, who turned 60 this week. I made a card using some tim holtz dies.

What to do when you hit a wall?

Sorry guys, this is gonna be another pic-lite one. This is for two reasons. The first is because I decided to be a complete idiot the other day and crack my head open on the door at work, so I have to take things easy for a couple of days. The second is strange. 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...

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
