I’m so grateful that I can still be creative while resting and healing. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the best patient — I’m always on the go, and this illness makes me so agitated when I have to slow down.

But a little crochet here and there is doing wonders. I can even do it with my eyes shut, which must look hilarious, but it stops my eyes straining and keeps my hands moving and my mind focused.

Happiness really is crafting.

Long time no post.........

I haven't crafted in a long time as I've been so busy with in clinic. But ive had to take a pause as I've been poorly on hospital but I'm now home from Hospital ❤️ and I'm taking my time to heal and rest. So lets get creating ✨️

I've got my crochet hook out and creating a round flower cushion with some lovely style craft bambino yarn in soft pastel colours from the lovely Nic at The Hive yarn shop in risca, its a treasure trove of yarn.

I'm procrastinating once again about crafting......

I keep saying I'm back crafting and I don't do much.

I now have a plan and I'm hoping to get things back up and running and to get back into my craft attic. It needs a good clean, declutter and reorganisation in readiness to make something. The attic currently does not look like this picture as everything is in boxes.

Now where to start 🤔

Hello 🤗 ..... I haven't crafted in a while as I've been preoccupied with life in general, working, studying and so on...... but now I've qualified as a Swedish massage therapist and in hot & cold stone therapy on top of my clinical Duopody and facial Reflexology I am now fancying doing a bit of crafting. But not sure what do make first 🤔

Got the urge to craft, so I dug out this adorable cross stitch, called suntime snooze. I must admit I started this well over 15 years ago, I hope to finish it this week and to frame it ❤
