The blog is a pretty boring place right now. I have nothing new to share.
I really have a problem with impatience, impulsiveness, and laziness. I get tired of a project that takes too long. If I see a new project that I love, I put anything I am working on a side and start the new project. This leaves me with a lot of unfinished things. And the laziness kicks in when I have come to a part in a project I don’t like to do or is more work. For instance, all the fat birdies I am making. I made 6 or 7 fat birdies in a bunch of different colors. They all look adorable! But when it comes time to take pictures of them, I get lazy and tell myself I don’t need to do it right now. They were supposed to go into the Etsy shop for Easter. I guess since my Etsy shop isn’t a big priority for me, I didn’t really motivate myself like I should have.
I also don’t have a lot of confidence in my photography and the way I can stage my things. It’s more because I just don’t have a lot of knowledge of photography, which is ok. So because of this, my poor Fat Birdies are just sitting in a bag doing nothing. Well one is in Hailey’s bed because I let her pick one to keep. They may make an appearance on the blog someday.
Another reason I don’t have anything to show right now is because we are getting some beautiful weather right now! When the temps went up, my mood got happier and we spend a lot of time outside. But unfortunately, yesterday Miss Hailey got sick. So now I am wiping her tiny nose, giving her cough medicine and playing board games.

I do have one project I would love to finish for Hailey by Easter. It’s a big knitted bunny I found on Purl Bee. It’s so cute! Unfortunately it’s been quite a challenge. I am giving myself pep talks though so I can finish! Hailey will love it, and that’s enough motivation right there.

I think I will leave you with a picture full of cuteness!

Thanks so much for reading my friends! I will get back into the swing of things soon. Spring is a whole new season full of color and happiness. Ok that was a little sappy. I’ll be done…
Have a great Thursday
That's so funny, I was thinking the same thing about my blog. Spring fever is a horribly-awesome thing. Haha. I hope Hailey feels better soon, so she can enjoy the lovely weather.
ReplyDeleteThat is what happens when you are a young Mom, so much to occupy your mind. I swear I lost loads of brain cells during delivery. My focus has never been the same. Outdoors with that beautiful girl is more important than a blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day,

I feel you completely, Mary. Hearing you talk about jumping to different projects reminds me of myself. I'm the EXACT same way. I get a new idea or see a cute pattern and want to run with it! Spring and Summer are slow blogging times for everyone, which I always find to be a wonderful thing. It means we're out and about, enjoying life! ;)
ReplyDeleteHoping Hailey feels better soon!
That bunny is adorable! I second starting that one!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's easy to get distracted in general, but add in Spring and I think it's tough for everyone! Enjoy the rest of your life for awhile and come back when you want to! :-)
Don't be hard on yourself Mary...I don't know any crafters that don't have at least a few projects going at once (I could write a book about unfinished projects ;) It is perfectly OK to take a break! As for your photography skills...I think you do a great job!!!
