No wish to craft

I don’t know what happened, I made my last card on 26th December, I had previously coloured the image days before, I started the mammoth task of tidying my craft room and everything just left me, it’s still not complete, I just couldn't face crafting, I felt down in the mouth and damn well lost.

Not knowing what to do on an evening, bored with television but just could not face getting any craft out, not even wanting to colour which I adore doing.

I contemplated just giving up, I felt quite depressed at the thought of messing the house up again as no matter how I try, it over spills into all of the rooms, Chris kept encouraging me to get my pens out but I just couldn’t face it.

Over the last 3 or 4 days I felt utterly depressed, deep, deep sighs, wanting to go to bed constantly tired.

Last night I forced myself to stay up later and get out my pens, I sat in the near darkness and started to colour, one image finished, move onto the next, move onto the third one, before I new it I had 3 images coloured, I put all of the pens away again cleared the table and looked at what I had achieved.

I’m hoping today to move onto the next stage of turning them into cards. Baby steps is needed here.

Thank you all my crafty friends for sticking with me and popping in to see if I have created anything to show you all.

This is the colourings I did last night.

Wish me luck in making cards today xxx

The Shame of a Tip of a Craft Room

I stood in the door way next to tears, “where do I start?” “Should I just give it all up as a bad job?”.

I felt thoroughly ashamed of the whole room, it needs organising, so much stuff, so much unused, more card than a craft shop, more ribbon than a haberdashery, something drastic needs doing.

I know, it’s my job, I know it’s my fault no-one else to blame. Standing at the doorway I just wanted to give it all up.

So I figure to get you to understand I need to give you all a visual, if nothing else it will shame me into sorting out this dreadful mess.

I hope you are all sitting down and ready for the shock.

make sure you view this as a slide show to get the full impact of what I am faced with.

So I managed to get nearly 1 unit sorted with my card stock and here it is, I need another 2 to 3 shelves of card adding to this.

Talented Friend

You know sometimes you just have to share a bit of love, I have a crafty friend who is never far away from her camera, this year she has took some outstanding pictures, she isn’t a blogger but she is on Facebook and with her permission I made a 2014 calendar with some of her pictures.

Jo Ann Sinclair, a very talented lady, she is allowing me to show you the Calendar.
