Retreating...


Heya. How goes it?

I've been pretty quiet here of late. Busy in real life (what else is new) and I don't really know why, but for some reason, I feel very much like retreating into my little virtual cave.

I don't feel like sharing my every thought on Facebook.

I don't want to put pics of my family up on Instagram.

I don't want to be giving advice to people.

Where before I wanted to share my ideas, now I feel as if writing posts is just one more thing I "have" to get done.

It's all a bit too much at the moment.

I just want to be present with my kids when I am at home.

I want to be able to go to work, earn a bit of pocket money, and come home.

I want to look after my family, cook, learn, help with our business.

I need to cocoon myself away for a bit.

I think that's probably normal and natural - going through cycles of feeling excited about the world and wanting to share that with others and then feeling like that's enough sharing for the moment. Quite possibly it's a very nasty case of PMS and in a week or so I'll get around to finishing off a couple of posts and be back to oversharing with the world.

But for now...just for a bit longer...I'm off to have a little nap.

    1. Thank you! I think I'm well - just very tired, worn out and overstretched. At least I hope that's all it is.

I downloaded this pattern as a PDF from Hoop Embroidery Co on Esty as my first attempt at the technique known as "thread painting"...
