So mum and dad are back from holiday and Mason is back too. It’s gone from unbelievably quiet to loud and busy.
Quite a bit has happened in the last few weeks. The usual crafty bits, a bit of psychic work, a bit of new craftyness more Haribo to stupid amounts of hot weather and some healing too.
I have been really struggling to get started working on things recently. I’ve sat down to do something then found any excuse I can think of to do something else. I’ve sat down to write this post a few times but then rather than opening the app to write I’ve played a game or searched Facebook. It’s like all focus is gone.I’d rather find something else to do than to actually work on the task I’ve sat down for. I’m not sure if it’s because I have too much to work on or not enough?
I think of writing lists of the things I need to do. but when I sit down I can’t be arsed, or I’m hungry or something else. I’m starting to annoy myself now. But when I force myself to sit down and start working the can’t be arsed feeling is ten times worse and it’s even harder to get anything done.
The other day I sat down to do a bit more on my healing course work. Again I struggled to get anything done. I think I wrote about 3 sentences before I gave up. I know it’s n excuse but the day I was going to some work it was stupidly hot. Excuse yes but I’m sticking with it. It doesn’t quite work on a day like today though. I really should get on and do some more.
So at some point over the last few weeks Katie wanted to take Harvey to take Harvey to a Haribo shop. So of course I volunteered to help show him round. So we took a trip. This time we went to the store in Cheshire Oaks. If you don’t know it’s an outdoor shopping centre. So loads of different shops in a small complex. A designer outlet is probably a better way to describe it. So stocked up on golden bears and giant strawberries. Did a bit of other shopping while we were there too. They have all sorts of different shops there not just the most important Haribo but shops from converse and Cadburys to Yankee candles. If there is something you want then there’s more than likely a shop there that sells it.
Here is a picture of a little bit of my Haribo stash, just to make you a little jealous.
So after shopping Harvey and I were hungry so we went to McDonald’s. Because it was insanely busy we went back to the car. That is where this happened.
Harvey sat in the footwell of the car eating his lunch. There does seem to be something with him sitting in odd places. While he was here while katie was working I found him in the porch sat in a washing basket playing a game on his phone. I think he is a little bit tapped in the head. So that’s why he fits in so well with the rest in the family.
The other day I actually did my first real SNU healing session it was only a practice one but last night It was a real session During the healing service. It was on the same person as the practice but beggars can’t be choosers. I filled in the form and everything.
I seem to be really tired all the time at the moment. And I think that isn’t helping much with the can’t be arsed feeling. I’ve been getting up in the morning feeding tilly. Getting washed and dressed ready to start the day and then by mid morning I have to go back to bed for a lie down and sleep for a couple of hours. I started typing this post this morning and had to go to a nap so I’m now carrying on at 3:40. So let’s carry on and try to get the rest done on one sitting with out stopping.
So craft wise. Sewing, Crochet, Tunisian Crochet. Tangling, Parchment Work and card making.
So here are some picture of the cards I’ve done:
Sew (do you like what I did there) let’s talk about what I’ve been doing with fabric. I’ve done 2 blocks of my wall hanging and I’ve cut out the pieces for the a 3rd.
And sticking with sewing but a slight crossover between that and Sanntangle. On the Sanntangle take over t day on hobby maker Sandra launched a sewing project that could be tangled on. It was a bag. So I got my hands on the pattern and made the bag.
That’s the outside of the bagand here is a picture of the bag tangled
So I made a mistake while following the pattern. The buttons you see on that picture are actually supposed to be on the sides of the bag. But it’s a happy mistake because with them being there they show off the contrast of the lining when the taps are on there.
So the tangle bag is being used to store the bits of wall hanging project. All the cut up fabric, and the finished blocks. Just a nice place to keep everything together.
On the take over day Sandra also launched parchment work. It took a bit but I actually started a piece this morning.
It’s supposed to have photo corners to cover the glue dots but I didn’t know where the ones I have are and didn’t want to dig out my dies too make some so it can stay like that.
I got a tile swap since the last updateZ this one is really different but amazing all at the same time.
Like I said different but brilliant at the same time.
And here is a picture of what was in the letter.
The most recent tile swap started on Monday. I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do for it. I think I’ll just have to sit down with some scrap paper and see what happens to get an idea what I’m going to do.
But the tiles that I’ve done over the last few weeks:
I can’t think of anything else to talk about. It has taken the best part of 24 hours to come up with what I’ve written so it might be better to just leave it there. Now time to consider doing some of my course work or maybe the tile swap, or maybe go to bed again for a bit or something else. Let’s see what happens.
What ever you’re up to stay safe and be kind.
Love and light.
