On Saturday I was meant to be having a stall at Handmade Nation Nottingham, but unfortunately I had to pull out at the last minute, due to some personal stuff. It had been a very bad week. I was really gutted to miss the event as I had helped to organise it and it would have been so nice to be there and it sounded like it was going to be a great day.
But it was the right thing to do and hopefully there will be more. It did mean I found some time to do some sketch book work. It was so relaxing and having a creative moment just made me feel so much better and I do have lots of ideas I want to progress. But I think until things get better I need to put Petal Textiles on the back burner and just do craft as a way of relaxing. I am hoping this break won't be for too long as I was really starting to move things forward. But I think sometimes you need to know when you need to step back and put your energy into more important things and at the moment I'm finding it so hard to do both.

Really sorry to hear that. Your stuff is so lovely. Izzy loves the name picture we won in your giveaway. I've found it very difficult to get motivated this year with sewing. Don't know why. I've just decided to do things for enjoyment for a while like swaps rather than manically sew all the time to sell. You prob just need a little break. x
ReplyDeletetake your time, and concentrate on having a break and chilling, you sound like you need it, it was a shame you weren't there sat as you put so much into it, but you sometimes just have to do whats right for you. looking forward to seeing your sketches too. i'm having a bit of time off now too, recharge the old braincells and get away in our caravan. speak soon x
ReplyDeletehope you start feeling better soon. A break may be just what you need.
ReplyDeleteHope you're ok and still find some time to be creative. Make sure you take lots of relaxing moments :)
