I just realised it's been over two months since I wrote anything on here. Life got a bit overwhelming when my depression decided to rear it's ugly head. So while I've been crafting, even completing projects, writing about them has just had to take a back seat as I've only got so much time and energy to go around. I'm slowly trying to build more balance and supports into my life, plus somehow rewire my though processes.
I thought for a while that my UFO pile was going down. Actually, it was going down, I've finished a bunch of them. But we're going to Burning Man in less than 5 weeks. There is a whole bunch of things I need to get made before then. Like some merino clothing for myself and my husband, it gets cold in the middle of the desert at night. Thankfully my wonderful mother in law has already outfitted Guinevere in merino for this winter. I've got cloaks to make for myself and Guinevere, 3 layer affairs, with a fun fur outer, a polarfleece inner and a satin lining. Nighttime warmth plus blanket for when we get back to camp. I think there are about 15 things on the list.....
I want to write about all the awesome things I've finished recently, especially the scarf that arrived with Mum today. But I think I'm going to curl up on the couch tonight instead. I'll try for more rambles tomorrow.
Wishing you well - supports are the best things in life! I'm so excited about your cloaks too - - looking forward to seeing them!
ReplyDeleteIt really is amazing the difference the right supports can make. I'm looking forward to wearing it :)
DeleteWell you've got a pretty big group of supports right here sweetie! :) Also it's great that you have your crafting and sewing, I know a lot of people who say they struggle to find balance with their life and really they just need to get themselves a hobby, something that isn't work or home, something extra that's just for them.
ReplyDeleteI know, you ladies are amazing!!! The crafting makes a huge difference. I can sit in front of the tv, knit a little and still feel like I've done something, or sew part of something. It's easy to do little bits and still end up feeling like I've achieved something. Definitely agree that people need hobbies, something just for them.
