Thoughts on how to find my crafty mojo again...

2020 has been a challenge(I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that).  One of the many things I have reflected on during this time is “what is important to me?” or “what is something I am missing because life keeps getting in the way?”

I really miss my knitting, cross stitch, and reading.  I have had a hard time focusing on anything other than just getting through the day most of this year.

With that in mind, I’m going to attempt to jumpstart my mojo and focus in July by challenging myself to knit for at least 30 minutes every day.  I have some specific WIPs that I want to make progress on.  Specifically my Find Your Fade shawl and a small rug for my daughter’s dorm room.

I want to get some WIPs finished before I start anything else and I have a lot of WIPs.

I’m also in the planning stages of getting my cross stitching time back.  I haven’t stitched in about 2 years and I am really starting to miss it but I need a plan and to organize first as my cross stitch stuff is buried in the recesses of my craft horde.  I’m hoping to have that organized by the time school starts back up in the fall IF the kiddos will actually be able to go back to school.

There is a myriad of other life stuff that is occupying my thoughts constantly but I’m going to try and find time for something that puts a light in my soul.

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Image
Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...

Out of Town

Stashalongers : there will not be a post this Tuesday and you have my deepest apologies for that. My Grandfather passed away this morning and I need to get to NY. Everything should be back to normal for our Week 13 of 13 post on the 28th :) I know a few of you have jumped off the wagon and I'll have all that in my post next time. Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes--he passed peacefully in his sleep and I think that's the best way to go. If there is a lighter side to this, my husband will be alone with my kiddos for more than 12 hours for the first time. You have no idea how badly I want to hide cameras around the house to see what goes on. Happy knitting everyone--no jumping off the wagon while I'm gone! Stacey and Cynthia --my gushing post about your very generous and much appreciated gifts will be up before I go--hopefully! If not then it will be up as soon as I get back :)
