Hobby Neglect Guilt

Dear Readers,

In today’s post I want to discuss something that I have been experiencing a bit of at the moment, hobby neglect guilt.

Focus

Dear Readers,

Sometimes I lose track of what is important in life and I need a little reminder.

Autistic Burnout/Fatigue

Dear Readers,

I am writing today about Autistic Burnout / Fatigue because I happen to be experiencing it right now. I started doing some research into it and I found that apparently this is only a newly documented phenomenon (about 5 years). Not that this did not occur more than 5 years ago, rather I believe that no one paid much attention to what autistic people said about themselves before then. 

Still alive

Dear readers,

I am still alive and love this blog and all my blogging friends 💜 I am just struggling with energy and motivation or “spoons” as the internet says these days.

I might repost my autism posts from Instagram here as a way of managing this. I did a series of autism posts for April as it was autism awareness month.

Stay crafty

Autism: The Spectrum and Functioning Labels

Dear Readers,

In today’s Autism post I want to talk about the Autism Spectrum and also about Functioning Labels.

Announcing a brief break

I just want to let you all know that I haven’t forgotten about my blog at all! And I definitely plan on continuing blogging. However we are in the process of trying to sell our house and buy a new one which goes with out saying, is very very stressful. I’ve gotten to the point where I am struggling to take in the information that I read, let alone try and analyse it and say something intelligible.

Here are my pretty socks that I am stress knitting at the moment.

Peace and love

Dalmeny Kirk Summer Market

Hi all,

I have been mentioning it here and there but I have not yet actually made a post dedicated to my up coming market!

Vaccinations and blessings

Dear Readers,

Just popping in to say that Husband and I got our firsts vaccination shot for Covid-19 on Tuesday. We are both well and happy.

With the majority of my friends and family still living in South Africa I feel so blessed to be offered this chance to be vaccinated already. I know that there are many people out there who are less fortunate than we are.

In other news, it is just 2 weeks until the market that I am sharing a table at. I am both incredibly nervous and excited. I am slowly coming up with a list of things that I need to get done and have prepared before I will feel ready. If I manage to produce a good list I might share it here with you.

Keep crafty!
Peace and Love,
Ellie

Meditation Knitting : What to meditate on

Dear Readers,

To start off with I must apologise for the delay. As happens to all of us, life caught up with me and I never got around to finishing my series on Knitting Meditation. That was largely because it took me a long time to create the video I wanted to accompany it. But with out further delay, lets get into it.

As promised today I am going to be telling you a little bit about how I do my meditation knitting in a little step by step guide. (As with last week’s post this also applies to crochet)
