It always happens doesn't it? Make plans, tell everyone, then WHAM.... stuff happens to derail everything.
Two months ago things were going really quite well, but just a few days after my last post I fell ill and it's taken me most of the time since then to get back to what passes for my normal these days.
Everything ground to a halt and while I was poorly. I didn't set foot in my lovely craft room for weeks and weeks. Even then, I only went in to look around a sigh a lot, as I just didn't feel up to doing anything creative at all. The only thing I've been able to do is crochet, and even then, it hasn't been regularly or with any real enthusiasm, which isn't like me at all.
Thankfully, I'm now feeling much better, so I've graduated to gentle pottering... a bit of sorting though things here, re-organising things there. Not 'making' exactly, but gradually working up to it.
I revisited my collection of partly dressed wee toy dolls this morning which only need to be wigged, hatted and boxed. Then I perused my barely begun little doll's house shop kit and decided I might just have a go at making some progress over the course of this week as the weather definitely won't be conducive to spending any time sorting out the garden.
So, with spring hopefully just around the corner, I'm hoping that my joie de vivre will return and nearly normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.
I mean...what could possibly go wrong? 🙄
I'm glad you are on the mend. It's hard losing the energy to create, but you are going in the feel better direction. I think doing little things is a good step, like a little spring flower slowly working its way through that hardened soil. Just a bit at a time. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteThanks.... yes, slowly but surely is my method. Although spring is a notoriously fickle season. In the past week we've had warm sunshine, high winds, showers, fog and today hail! Just hope there isn't a huge dump of snow on my little spring flower. Definitely going in the right direction though :)
ReplyDeleteDear Sandra, I am so sorry you got "under the weather" as they say around here. The weather has been atrocious too... so no wonder! But still, I am glad to hear you are on the mend and starting to dip back into the projects. Yes, slow and easy are your friends for now... and I hope you will continue to gain strength as Spring advances. I will say, some of those "little" projects for that Wonderhouse Shop might be just the ticket! They are mostly fun (once you find the pieces) and enchanting in their small way! So a lot of fun and not much work involved. :):)
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy :) Yes, I have been pottering with some of the little projects from the shop kit. And yes, as you say, finding them takes much longer that the few minutes it takes to put them together. I haven't finished the main building yet but the little doll's houses which go inside are fun to make. Sx
