Post-covid fatigue is really kicking my ass right now. Zero crafty motivation, or life motivation for that matter
So I decided to make one tiny thing today, but in the making of it, I used the good stuff. @Magpie sent me a stitched piece of scrappy paper awesomeness and I’ve been saving it, but today I used some of it in this bookmark.
I also had in stash sheets of very strange and random quote stickers from AliExpress, so I added a bit of dada-esque poetry.
That looks lovely & like a satisfying make. I feel your fatigue, it’s still with me too. Hope the summer sun chases it away soon!
@loves2experiment send me that stitched ribbon in a paper swap. She spoiled me frikken rotten, omg. I’m still using the cool stuff she sent me.
That is so cool!! And I love your dada-esque AliExpress poetry so very much 
Hope you feel better and more energetic soon!
Sometimes you just have to take the small victories…hope you feel better soon!
so sorry about the fatigue, etc.
your scrappy bookmark is wonderful! I like everything about it! thx for posting
and I sure hope you feel better soon
I started knitting a lace pair of socks this past weekend, using yarn that I bought in April 2019. I have a very bad problem with being too precious with art supplies. This is a gorgeous shade of my favorite color teal.
Ravelry links:
yarn: Black Cat Fibers Nomad Sock, Sleep with the Fishes colorway
pattern: Fritillary sock, by VeryBusyMonkey
Yay! for using the good stuff! It’s beautiful yarn and it’s going to make an awesome pair of socks.
The name of that colorway is great! Do they have a ‘Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli?’
Wow, both the yarn and the pattern are gorgeous! What a fabulous project for the good stuff!!
ha, maybe! They do have a bunch of fun names:
They have my #1 fave colourway!
Oh, the colors! 
I do not need more yarn. I do not need more yarn. I do not… 
Well, you do have a new dedicated crafting space now… 
Enabler. 
The one thing I don’t have in that space is much supply storage. I have four giant bins for yarn and fiber…they are full. I have some serious knitting/spinning to do.
Same. I need some shelving in my closet so I can reorganize my craft supplies. I had to move things around to make room for a spinning wheel and the room has looked like a tornado ripped through it for over a month.
This is really beautiful
Turned out great! Love that yarn…glad you used the good stuff…lovely work!
gorgeous!
Beautiful!
