a bit.
Over on Facebook, the And Sew We Craft crew asked, what have we been crafting? I was kind of glum to admit, not much really. I’ve been away from home for two weekends in a row, so I’m madly playing catch up at home, which means less crafting, and thus blogging. But when I thought about it, it’s less of “not much really”, and more of “bits when I can”.
A bit of embroidery while watching tv:
or some crochet. I actually had to frog a couple of rows due to minor errors that probably could have been fixed, but it was only two rows.
I do LOVE how it looks with the green added in though!
And very high on my priority is getting 240 orange strips sewn together! Tonight’s project, I swear!
Some fabric delivered ready to make a skirt. A cake that was actually a bit of a flop. Crafting with the small people. Planning a mixed media challenge with Car. A wordsprint here and there to build on the L&P story. Big projects will come with time. For now, this season in my life means my crafting is “just a little bit”. But that little bit is enough. And enough is good enough.

Your “just a little bits” have some gorgeous colour combos Rachel. Some times it is nice to accept that we can only do what we can do <3
Your little bits add up to quite a bit, Rachel! I haven’t had much time my Jan the Janome lately, litte bit here and there. I would love to be able to have some portable crafts available to my but my left hand has a mind of its own and cramps within five seconds of knitting or crochet!
Thanks girls! I’ve resigned myself to having no large progress posts anytime soon, but as long as I can squeeze in something here or there, I’m happy!
I’ve been adding a bit to the blankie I’m crocheting … and I wrote two blog posts this week … does that count?!
It’s something! And something is better than nothing. 🙂
All those little bits add up in the end though, no? xox
That they do! And its enough. In time, life will slow, I will start breathing again, and the creating will fit again.
LOVE the orange!
Thanks! It makes me smile too 🙂
Little bits and pieces – I can so relate at the moment, my crafting/sewing life is in limbo while I’m doing the musical and my sewing machine is sick- it feels weird to not complete anything!
But being in a musical is still being creative!
