I have amended the description of my blog. Quite frankly, the bit about trying to write every day - was a downright lie.
I wish it wasn't, I enjoy expressing my thoughts into words, but right now (and for sometime to come, I imagine), I just don't have the dedication, or the heart to make the effort.
I deliberately took the summer off from candle-making. No-one (I know anyway) wants to burn candles when it's hot, and I certainly don't want to be making them. Besides any spare moment (and many not spare) has been spent on the new obsession ... the knitting thing.
I have spent far far too much money in only the last 5 weeks on yarn ... there are piles of bags of wool and cotton and you name it, I've got it in mostly orange shades. The stash is currently only residing downstairs (ooh apart from the delicious skein of orange Noro Cash Iroha I scored at the not-very local yarn shop ages ago).
Which is good, as the kitchen is filled with candle stuff (plus surplus in the garage and living room), and the so-called craft room is filled with everything else - paper crafting supplies, magazines, fabric from my quilting days, cross-stitch kits long forgotten.
Isn't it amazing? Only been knitting three months, and already the stash has reached S.A.B.L.E proportions. However, I do have one Chrissy present finished - hey I'll take my successes where I can.
The only down-side is that "silly season" approaches, and I have 6 events booked during November and December, so the candle-making will have to resume. But I'd much rather be knitting ...!
