A few days late in my posting. Strange illness on Sunday night sent me to bed early and a breakdown last night sent me to bed early too. The illness passed, the breakdown left me thinking. I know I hold myself to standards, plans, expectations that are sometimes unattainable, but I continue to do it. I try to shove too much into the time I have for me and I frustrate myself to no end. Even worse I disappoint myself. It’s not fair to me. <\/p>\n
My time for me is supposed to be fun. I’m going to try taking a few tiny steps to adjust my mindset each day. I need to enjoy my me time and stop focusing on the plans for what needs to be accomplished next. <\/p>\n
On with last week’s creations:<\/p>\n
More ATCs – made from left overs.<\/p>\n
Purple flannel in ATC size with lots of thread playing and beads<\/p>\n
ATCs for an exchange<\/p>\n
The cover of a journal I created for a round robin. I chose the theme Creative Expression. You can see more here but a few images of my pages are below<\/p>\n
A small beaded art quilt<\/p>\n
And altered CD made a great addition.<\/p>\n
Lastly, I’ve been busy making paper lingerie – somewhat 3D – I’ve completed 2 corsets and a camisole & undies set.<\/p>\n
I’m not quite sure what I’ll be doing with the paper lingerie. Any ideas???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
