Fighting and feeling inspired.

A flu style bug has hit the household, and honey and lemon have become good friends, along with Twinings Defence Tea  . Our beds has become a crafting zone and a writing zone. My son writing Pokemon bits and pieces and i'm reading and cutting out 3D decoupages , saving for another time to make them up. My reading material is everything from card making, papercraft and cross stitch, and now the latest Simply Homemade, with a free embossing and stamping set.

Simply Homemade covers so many different crafts, it always has the power to inspire, and i'm certainly that from reading the first few pages. Weaving anyone? I'm certainly interested in the whole idea of it, and it would be good to use some of my yarns i have stashed for supposed knitted projects, but also the Bear cushion is too cute to ignore! Plus button jewellery and father's day cards, along with the other projects to tease the crafter in all of us. And of course i have fabric in this house, various pieces of all manner of sizes and colours so a quilt is never far from my mind, though i think i don't quite have the sewing machine skills quite what they need to be. Seriously, i need to get my crafting area sorted! I'm eager to explore the crafting part of my mind, and talking mind, yes i'm still fighting demons and dark places, so crafting has certainly become a everyday thing to help.

But right now, tissues and warm/cold drinks take the importance away from crafting, and resting when we can has become important too. Kiddo is on half term at the mo, so it's going give him chance to recoup and recover before facing his final term at this school. He's growing so fast and it will be mum getting her crafting brain on for his final presents for his teachers who have helped him so much, and to a head teacher who runs such a wonderful school. It will be a big change for both of us, with tear shed along the way.

Happy Crafting, where ever you do it.
