Life has a habit of getting in the way of the fun stuff sometimes. Lately life has been fun, hectic and incredibly satisfying. But.... It's missing something for sure. Crafting, and time to do the crafting. I've recently had some ideas of things to do that I haven't tried before. These projects will push me and challenge me in directions I haven't gone before. I genuinely feel excited about doing this, but I'm struggling to find time to do it. Anyone got a time machine? Here's a sneaky peek at something which is inspiring one of my projects...
Before I became a mum, I was someone who had lots of different interests and lots of time to explore all the different things that caught my eye. I wasn't able to quite do everything I wanted due to limited space and my house just not being fit for purpose. While I loved candlemaking I really did not have the space, and the kit was all sold off (much to my regret). Then I had a child and all my crafting interests went out the window. I had no time, and honestly I didn't have the motivation. There was a lot going on in my head and I didn't have time or energy to do the things I loved. 2020-21 was a significant period of change, I learned how strong I am, I moved house, and I cleared my mind. Little Legs is not so little and can actually sometimes leave me in peace to focus on things for me. I can actually find time to be "Tatty" and not just mum, or civil servant. That period I did little bits of knitting, some embroidery and even made a felted sleeve for my teapot
