My fur baby & crafting companion

 My baby,

I decided long ago even though it is still an unpopular opinion of society that I didn't want to have children at all, lucky for me, my one & only Mr Creative was willing to indulge me. We look after our two nephews full time, who are very lively & active, this is enough for us where kids are concerned. We are both animal lovers (Mr C is a cat person) fate bought us my baboo; my baby girl. 

She turned 21 this year & has been with us for 12 years, she is spoiled rotten and loved by all of us in the house. Definitely a pampered puss.

My beautiful baby girl

She has started to decline, we are currently experiencing a heat wave here in the UK, I think that it is not helping the matter. She is my crafting companion, my baby; even the thought of losing her is tearing me up inside. We've made her as comfortable as we can do, and still getting pampered albeit a lot less than she normally allows. 

I believe that that this kind of news is normally a private affair, however I didn't want those that may read my posts to think I have just disappeared, so making a quick post to say that at this moment in time crafting is the least of my worries. I will be back, but for now I need to spend time with my baby and Mr C.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, until next time try and stay creative for me x

A massive ouchie & plenty of rest......

 The dreaded dentist:

Well all went well at the dentist, but let me tell you being someone who suffers with social anxiety being crowded by people pulling teeth out is a nightmare. Mr Creative thinks it is hilarious that I believe that the social aspect of that dreaded experience was worse than the actual surgery. However, it is all over with now (I hope) and I can try to get my creative "mojo" back into the mix. 

Youtube has been my go to for tutorials and reviews the last few days just to try and spark some inspiration or motivation. I have the inclination but if it involves more than a few steps to get things ready I've already decided that now isn't the time and save it to my watch later.

I hate feeling this way but know it is my bodies way of telling me to chill out and we will be back to normal sooner rather than fighting myself to be productive.

wip's, fo's and maker plans:

I haven't touched any crafts this week, I had plans to keep things simple and slow going; however I spent the week looking at my wip's and seeing if I wanted to continue them or frog them. I haven't touched any of the pile to be frogged just in case my mentality was being effected from the pain after the trip to the dentist. I'm going to review in the next week or so. This also means no fo's either 😭 

I do have a fairly large list of maker plans for the next week, maybe two since it's so long 😁

1. half double crochet hat
2. garter stitch hat
3. granny stitch project bag
4. granny merge shawl
5. newsboy hat loom knit
6. double layered skinny scarf with pompom finishes - buttons to attach??
7. knit ross hat
8. rainbow hooded bandana cowl
9. garter stitch halter top
10. resin "dessert" stitch markers

Here's hoping that after reading this your inspired to get crafty, thanks for taking the time to spend a few minutes with me.

Until next time, stay creative x
