Excuses

 I've been looking back at previous blog posts, mainly to see what I have made in the past, but it did make me realise something. I tend to be very negative with regards to my creativity. There are constant remarks about it being at a low ebb, but every week, I have still made something. I'm wondering if I use it as an excuse, both so that I don't have to make too much of an effort and, if I think something I made isn't great, I've got an excuse as to why. I need to be more positive, yet still accept that if things go wrong, they go wrong. 


Anyway, onto this weeks makes. I've managed to finish the third page of my stitch.



I hate confetti stitching when I'm doing it, but boy do I love the results. 

I've done some jewellery this week. A simple bracelet, and also a dreamcatcher keyring. 





So, from next week, more positive posts and hopefully that will lead to more creativity!

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
