Love all the scenes you picture. All that Green Gate & Cath Kidston. Love everything. I specially like your "cross stitch graphic" crochet blanket, which I intend to copy. <br />Can I ask you about the yarn? Not the brand, but if it's cotton or wool and the crochet hook numbers you use most. <br />Thank you for sharing all that beauty.<br />XOXO,<br />Cristinatibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614662444673830043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-43298168469067602112011-11-23T06:17:20.140+00:002011-11-23T06:17:20.140+00:00Exactly how I'm feeling at the moment, a wee b...Exactly how I'm feeling at the moment, a wee bit panicky about the prospect of having everything done for Xmas!

This isn't because of the cut price stuff, it's because I see all the people I buy gifts for over Christmas and I always think of the perfect gift I wish I had bought them whilst I'm with them. So I shall make another list over Christmas and hit the shops.<br /><br />Blast that long winded coldyflu.

Flu is a ghastly thing ( I was struck down in February with it and it was vile). The dreary weather and a million and one thing to accomplish doesn't help the mental overload of a fuzzy head at all does it?<br />Like you, our family also has alot of birthdays in November and December so it's always a busy time for us too, not to mention dance concerts etc etc...but here's a little thing I do for myself when the full to bursting calendar and everything else makes me feel like Im going to lose my mind.<br /><br />I stop (exactly where I am, whatever Im doing) and I close my eyes, and I breathe in slowly, in and out ten times. It helps to centre me, get my feet back on the ground and makes everything seem a bit easier. Take each day as it comes, fret ye not if it doesn't all get done, and just enjoy the splendidly imperfect nature of it all.<br />I hope you feel better soon, sorry for such a long winded comment!

I can really relate to the feelings of panic that come with feeling pants when you want so much to be doing things but just don't feel quite right. I've had a rough couple of weeks with the M.E. and a kidney infection and I've been looking at photos of Christmas craft on Pinterest and getting really fed up that i just don't feel like doing anything!!! I hope you are feelign tip top again soon.

Wish I could tell you to feck it all and relax but it's not advice I would follow either so all I can say is you are not alone. Although I will say it a little, Christmas is coming regardless so grab a chance to chillax when you can.<br />I am keeping myself away from the hexi quilt and granny squares I want to relax with and forcing myself to stay on top of my Christmas makes, so far I'm being quite disciplined.

I also want to make stuff for my daughter,as I don't like a lot of the toys sold here.<br />I also get stressed here because everyone here eats a completely different meal to the traditional UK one which I know and love. Noone ever bothers to put anything British on the menu for the family do, so I end up feeling stressed and upset about that.<br />BUT, I do think as Mums, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves and we strive to be perfect. It can all get hugely stressful, but sometimes we have to say, sod it, life is for living, I will do what I can and what pleases me and enjoy myself.<br />Don't pressure yourselftoo much and if the sofa calls again,you get on there while you get the chance. Think of me who ill have to eat fish for my Christmas meal!!! Could be MUCH worse tough. xxxTracy Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241249836621046253noreply@blogger.com
