This is me at the moment.
I have lots to be getting on with… A notebook full of ideas to refer to. A calendar of stalls to make for. Commissions to get started on. Leads to follow up.
But my motivation, so healthy in the sunshine of Australia, has shrivelled up and died in the cold and dark of winter back home.
It doesn’t help that I need a new bed. I awake each morning to a nagging and persistent pain in my back.
Or that my sewing room is cold and inhospitable. No matter how many layers of clothing I swaddle myself in.
Sorry to moan.
But I thought I should explain why there hasn’t been much in the way of crafty posts lately.
Perhaps I should just hibernate until spring.
By the way, the lovely prints pictured in this post are by the rather wonderful Sarah Abbott, an artist from Sheffield, which is not that far from me (just a bit further north). So I imagine she will know all about cold winters.
Her work can be bought from her Etsy shop Watersounds, and via Society 6.
I am 100% with you on this. January blues suck. Hope motivation strikes soon for you x
Thanks – and for you too. I am lucky enough to have missed a few weeks of the winter, so I shouldn’t complain really.
Think yellow,think daffodils,think morning coffee in a ray of spring sunshine…happy thoughts!…go on you can do it….even though I know how hard it is…..muchest love Daisy
Feel for you. I hate being cold. Make yourself a quick and simple snuggle quilt to wrap around your knees in your cold sewing room! Do it in bright colours and it’ll warm both body and mind.
Ooh I’m so glad it’s not just me! I have all these ideas floating around and I know I should be doing something but the motivation escapes me!x
