I've been feeling guilty. Very guilty in fact. Guilty for not posting more regularly, guilty for not getting through my embroidery/sewing etc tasks more efficiently, guilty that it has taken me so long to catch up on chores, guilty for enjoying the heat wave instead of getting on with stuff,.... guilty about EVERYTHING.
But, following a 'bit' of a crisis in the family, everything has been put in perspective and I think, maybe, hopefully, I'm beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel again. And with a bit of luck that will bring new-found energy and enthusiasm to get back on track (and get posting again!).
When asked how he coped with completing UFOs or difficult projects, Kaffe Fassett said he used the 'F-word' and the 'C-word' - I'm not sure what you're thinking, but he meant 'focus' and 'concentration'! Do they work for you? How do you cope when you hit a slump, or feel overwhelmed by stuff?

Pay it forward 2013
Since the New Year I've noticed quite a few posts on Facebook about this. If you haven't come across them, they say something like this:
Pay it forward 2013!
I promise to make something handmade for the first five people who comment. They must in turn post this and make somthing for the first five who comment on their status.
* The rules are it has to be made by you, and they must receive it before 2013 ends.
Initially I thought, I've more than enough to do as it is and I don't want to feel under pressure to make stuff. But the more of these posts I saw, the more I thought about it. And as I've been merrily stitching some little objects recently, I've realised that they don't necessarily have to be huge undertakings (and you'll more than likely have to consider postage for them too). So, as a 'crafty' person, I've been persuaded to give it a go after all and posted my message on my FB page last week. I've had a few takers - one for a charity my friend supports - and I've already a fair idea of what I'm going to make those who've shown an interest.
I suppose, now it will just be a matter of getting on with it (although, I do have best part of 11 months to give them to my friends!).
