- I am making less than usual but since I started working full-time 3 years ago that’s become my new normal I guess. Covid did not see a great increase in productivity, I experienced a paralysis of inspiration that seemed to be common for many other makers. I do feel I’m maintaining a steady pace now though, making when I can, breaking when I feel like it.
- My project size hasn’t changed but I’m making more for myself and our home instead of immediately needing to get rid of something the minute it’s finished, lol.
- I’ve managed to tackle the WIP pile and also just let go of those projects that are stagnating because I’ve lost interest. No guilt, I craft as therapy so torturing myself to finish something I don’t want to do would be backwards. Of course I still get inspired by new ideas but I’m putting a pin into most of those in favour of finishing what I have already on the go. I’m trying to shop from stash too, that’s a big change.
- Going forward, I need to work on a project with my sister for our aunt so that’s what I’ll be doing more than anything else. We’re going to self-publish her poetry and she’ll need illustrations, mine will be fiber based of course. I hope to create really large work as those photograph better for books. They will hopefully end up in an exhibition, big plans!
- I made quite a few abandonable positive affirmations but ended up sending them to people we know, everybody seemed to need a lift at one point or another. I can always do more!
- I did make something random that I found when browsing, this silly little cupcake pin cushion ring from a bottle cap. It’s adorable.
- My fave project so far this year was scrappy coasters, they were so much fun to make! So much fun. I’ll make more, they were just the best project.
- I don’t love long crochet projects so this C2C baby blanket was a chore to get through. So glad it’s done though!

@Abbeeroad made the cutest scrappy rainbow baby books, of course I totally had to make some of those. I am loaded with scraps!
