It's that time of the year again. Makers everywhere are drawing up their making lists for - sssh - christmas. Or if they haven't, they're running late!! After creating a rather splendid list that I know will be slashed to at least half its size come November, I realised I haven't blogged since this time last year!!!!! How did that happen?
Well, indifferent health has kept my creative mojo on the back burner mostly but I think I got out of the habit of blogging, then wondered if I really needed to as I share little updates on facebook more often these days. So I've been pondering whether to start again or not. But something odd happened when I wrote that list. My knitting goddess decided to emerge, all rested up and ready to take on fancy intarsia mitts, lacy scarves and even finish some UFO's - unfinished objects - from the depths of the hidden UFO stash. Hand to head, what's come over me? lol! Whatever it is, welcome back!!
So there's knitting on the needles and jewellery plans on the go too - even possibly selling some jewellery in my Etsy shop - so there should be regular posts again. Yay! I've missed talking to you all.
Synchronicity though.
Well, it's been a weird week for that I'll tell you. First my knitting mojo comes back full force, then today when I've been thinking about making some new artwork, I get two e-mails encouraging me to do just that! I think it's a sign! lol! Yeah, a sign to get my creative ass in gear again and enjoy myself making, designing and hopefully even make a living from this somehow?
So here's to new creative experimenting and hopefully more regular blogging ;)
Welcome back, hope to chat to you all soon!

Facebook is faster and easier, but blog posts go deeper I guess. We get more of you, and we like that (too)! ;)
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Nilla! Fb is good for the quick posts and small messages and when I wasn't making much it was fine. Now I'm starting to create more again, I've been missing having a place to chat about the processes and share more than just the one photo of finished projects. Bet it will feel like I've never been away soon :)
DeleteLove your vessels, keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina, I'm hoping to get started on some new ones soon:)
DeleteWelcome back, so looking forward to seeing what you'll be making! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks very interesting blog!
ReplyDeleteFantastic website you have here but I was curious if you knew of any message boards that cover the
ReplyDeletesame topics discussed here? I'd really like to be a part of group where I
can get feedback from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Many thanks!
Hi there. there is a great site for knitters with discussion/help forums on Ravelry. It's free to join and everyone on there is really helpful and supportive. I hope you find many like minded makers there. Quite a few do blogs as well so have a browse. They have lots of knitting/crochet patterns there too, lots of them free and a personal gallery space for you to post and share your own creative work as well. Hope this helps! :)
DeleteHowdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.
Hi there, I've checked the post on Chrome and internet explorer and it seems to be loading fine at the moment. Thank you for letting me know there was an issue:)
