While I haven't been a prolific hooker and stitcher as before, I have been making. I still find it hard to sit down and create. I've pinned lots of inspiration but just can't get myself into the making part. I have made stuff, but only because I needed the money, doing it for the sheer pleasure has long since left me. I think my life is out of balance, health-wise, financially, relationships, and my home. Maybe blogging will bring me some satisfaction. I started a writing course a few weeks ago, everyone else is finishing week 2 I'm struggling to get motivated half way through week one. Perhaps I should just stop fighting this lethargy, and rest and allow everything to just flow along as it is for a short while. But enough of my whinging you came here to look at pretties.

I thought I would try something different for the trees latest bikini.
Freeform crochet inspired by Prudence Mapstone. I did actually love doing this and I
am amazed by the tourists taking photos of it. I actually saw a queue at weekend.. |
 |
Just a few flowers before bedtime. I needed to use up some yarn and there was also
nothing on tele that night. During the day I also embroidered a rose button. |
 |
| The next night, the garden grew. All made in the advert breaks |
 |
The third night the garden was finished. Though 18 leaves had been made
at the hospital during the day while I was waiting for a biopsy

| Over the years of making ami's I have ended up with a few failed ones and have collected quite a few body parts. I also had bits of yarn that needed using up. I made these snuggly lovies earlier this year.. I played around with some of the octopus legs I had left over. Mmmmmmm, that gave me an idea. |

See the octopussy, isn't she cute.
I keep telling myself if this is what I can do when I am not in the mood or feeling inspired then just think what I could do if I was. I've only posted a few of the things here that I have made. In the past I was too obsessed, this is probably my limit now and I should accept that. Nearly everything has sold or been given as gifts. I have a few ideas floating around and rather than trying to do 6 of them all at once I should concentrate on one at a time. I need to discipline myself.
Till next time....
