My creative space…

March 11, 2010 86 Comments by Kirsty

getting back to basics with a bit of crochet.

I am just like this…just visualise the chest as my head. I’ve been overstuffing for a couple of months & it’s all just spilling out all over the place.

I’m using the granny squares & this lovely swap as packeruperers. Then I want to make a new handbag & get on with my doodle/quilling idea & my quilt plan too.

Focus.

I can’t even remember last Thursday so no favourite from last week…sorry. I’ve got my pen ready for this week though!

Do pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

Oh … Yes I totally relate to the overspilling head ATM! LOL. That yarn you are using is a beautiful shade! Good luck with it : )

What a great analogy for the 'overstuffing' of your head! I empathise and … join you.

Ok, is it a symptom of being creative??? I too am spilling over with stuffed in ideas and projects and so unfocused! I think we are all in the same boat here.

Wow, so much going on your head no wonder you can't remember last week. I know the feeling.
ps. if anyone has trouble visiting today, it's because we are having some problems with a certain telco not resolving our server addresses properly. This will most likely affect those whose ISP resembles a "large lagoon". It's not you, or me, it's them.

It's always a shamozzle around here, I think I've just gotten used to it. That's why it's nice to check out some other spaces….nice clear ones for dreaming, nice messy ones for validation!

As always your colour selection is perfect

being pretty new to crochet and the fact that I keep forgetting my glasses makes the thought of teeny tiny crochet hurt my head. Looks good though, great colour.

Last Thursday? What last Thursday? On the upside, if you keep going with the fairy grannies, the eyesight will be so challenged you'll barely notice the exploding head situation. (I'm typing from experience).

PS. You do very nice exploding head.

Oh Kirsty, I can almost hear the busy-ness in your voice.I guess the overstuffing and trouble focusing are the flip side of having so many wonderful ideas. So now, we just need to find somewhere to buy some more free time!
