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.

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

Ellie

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!

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.

Meditation Knitting – Set Up

Dear Readers,
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)

Meditation Knitting Introduction

Dear Readers,

Today I want to talk a bit about meditation knitting. It seems to be a popular phrase these days, I have seen many articles talk about knitting as mediation but they don’t really go into detail. They just say that knitting is good for you and your mind. So I have decided to write a series of blog posts about mediation knitting.(I would like to note that although I have written this is knitting most of this applies to crochet too! )

Weekly Art Round Up

Dear all,

Not sure if I’ll continue this but I decided to post a little round up of my art from this week.

London Birthday Weekend

Hello All,

Last Wednesday was my birthday and my husband was working in London so I decided to go down to London for the weekend to see my husband, my sister and some friends.

A quick Aside

Hi again,

Okay this is going to be my final apology for not posting regularily. No this doesn’t mean that I hope to somehow magically stick to a posting schedule. This means that I am going to try and accept myself as I am and just acknowledge that sometimes I can’t post and sometimes this will happen for months in a row.

My medication (for anxiety and depression) has not really been working (probably because I haven’t been recieving therapy and medicine helps the symptoms not the cause.) Anyway I sort of recently got to see a Psychiatrist through the NHS who is adjusting my medictaion and who also informed me that it is pretty much impossible for me to recieve onging psychiatric talking therapy. (Cue me having to go and find a private therapist who doesn’t cost an arm and a leg).

I am still in the transition between old medicine and new. Things have certainly been a roller coaster ride but they do seem to be somewhat on the up.

I hope that you have all been keeping well,
❤ Love Diella

Introducing Jack

Hello again dear Reader,

Almost a month ago, on the 20th of April, we moved house. Then for approximately 2 weeks we did not have internet. Why is it then that it has taken me so long to get back into blogging and making videos and art? Surely I now have my own room to use as a studio I should be at an all time productive high?
