The truth is, I haven't had the motivation to do much of anything, especially something creative or crafty. I suffer from anxiety and depression. Some days I don't feel like doing anything at all, especially crafting. Some of those days I force myself to sit down at my craft table and try to work on something, even if it is just sewing up a hole on one of the boys' stuffed animals.
So, since my last post, I finished quilting the stocking I was working on, but I have not pieced it together. I have to sew the topper on, then sew the front to the back and then it will be done. Yeah, just that easy.
So, I have been papercrafting since I last posted.

Tonight is Friday Night Crop at my LSS (local scrapbook store) and I'm hoping to complete 4 paper gingerbread houses from the same pattern I used for Halloween houses last year as gifts for the boys' teaches (one kid has 2 teaches).
Now, off to grab my slippers since the craft room/dining room floor is cold and I need to get off the computer and get some crafting done.
Until next time.... (and hopefully sooner than 3 weeks)
Fin here; I'm really sorry that you're struggling with depression. It seems like something that most artistic/crafty people deal with from time to time, and this time of year often seems to be the worst for us.
ReplyDeleteI hope that it lets up soon, and that you find your creative mojo. *offers hugs*
Awww, thanks Fin! December has been a rough month for me for the past 6 years, and today is the worst day.
ReplyDeleteI think today is a good day to crank the radio up and clear off my craft desk so I can try to get it ready for some Christmas Break crafting.
