winter woes

This is me at the moment.

I have lots to be getting on with… A notebook full of ideas to refer to.  A calendar of stalls to make for. Commissions to get started on. Leads to follow up.

But my motivation, so healthy in the sunshine of Australia, has shrivelled up and died in the cold and dark of winter back home.

It doesn’t help that I need a new bed. I awake each morning to a nagging and persistent pain in my back.

Or that my sewing room is cold and inhospitable. No matter how many layers of clothing I swaddle myself in.

Sorry to moan.

But I thought I should explain why there hasn’t been much in the way of crafty posts lately.

Perhaps I should just hibernate until spring.

prints by Sarah Abbot

By the way, the lovely prints pictured in this post are by the rather wonderful Sarah Abbott, an artist from Sheffield, which is not that far from me (just a bit further north). So I imagine she will know all about cold winters.

Her work can be bought from her Etsy shop Watersounds, and via Society 6.

  1. Think yellow,think daffodils,think morning coffee in a ray of spring sunshine…happy thoughts!…go on you can do it….even though I know how hard it is…..muchest love Daisy

  2. Feel for you. I hate being cold. Make yourself a quick and simple snuggle quilt to wrap around your knees in your cold sewing room! Do it in bright colours and it’ll warm both body and mind.
