Re: rough time

Something like that maybe @outlander. Or something where we make a bit of something each. It was you saying you were making a "happy new year" that had me thinking about it. Like if we made a few letters each of a word, or something where we could take a pic and combine it maybe. If you're interested we can think on it and play sometime 🙂

Not sure if notifications with pics are working but I added a progress pic in craft corner if you'd like to see what I'm playing with at the moment.

Re: rough time

that sounds pretty cool- either one of them! @CheerBear
i had plans to make a new blanket this year- one thats not a granny sqaure style so if we cant get a word or something going that could be something to work on together...

i am waiting on the pic you uplaoded, very (im) patiently 😉

Re: rough time

Have a look at CAL projects some time maybe @outlander. There are some sensational blankets all with great insructions (most with videos). Many take forever but I think they're worth it.

Re: rough time

i just done a quick search @CheerBear and there are so many! but its not coming up a specific style... like theres granny sqaures and mandalas and those sorts but im not seeing like a specific style as you with say chevron or granny sqaure when you type that in?

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

CALs are often a big project with lots of different styles and stitches. You could definitely go chevron or another repeating stitch too. They all look lovely 😊

Re: rough time

Hi @outlander

@CheerBear

Loved reading along with your conversation this morning. The weird feeling from yesterday has left me, so I'm feeling much better emotionally.

Small moments. Yep, that is what gets me through most days. Laughing at something the cats do, laughing at some stupid fb video, watching cats sleep so blissfully, listening to the birds chirp. Simple, small pleasures.

You are both some amazing craters. I'm very envious,but loving hearing of your plans and excitement.

I'm sensing a day of small, calm moments for you both.

Lotsa love to the both of you, 💕💕💕

Morning my beautiful sis @Sans911
Im glad your feeling better today.

my nice calm day may be getting a little hectic but ill see how im feeling a little later. i may even have to say 'NO' to something.

Lots of love to you too


Whats your day looking like?

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

Hey @Sans911 🙂 So good to hear the weird feeling has left. I was thinking of you this morning wondering how you might be going today.

Laughing (often way inappropriately 😆) and small rainbow coloured moments are definitely key to me making it through too ❤

I'm sure I've asked you before (sorry!) but do you have a crafty kind of hobby you enjoy?

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

That (the colouring in) was a lovely moment of connectedness @outlander.

I have gathered you have trouble saying no to people as you try to be as helpful as you can. It's OK to say no sometimes. Shocks people if they're not used to hearing it come from you, but boundaries and principles are important.

I've just got my psychologist app in a few hours. Not doing much but chipping away at the packing, and sorting out what really isn't worth taking.
