I don’t know about everyone else but I tend to have a lot of different projects on the go at any one time.
I also do more than one craft. I knit, sew, crochet, weave, dye yarn and hook rugs.
One way to judge how I’m doing is to think am
I flitting from one project to another and starting lots of new projects or am I able to concentrate and settle to a single project at a time? If I’m flirting I’m struggling. Especially if I’m flitting between crafts as well.
How are you doing atm? Flitting or focus?
At the moment with this lockdown I’m looking for anything to keep myself entertained, card making and paracord bracelets have been the two activities so far but some diamond art pics that need to be done too so yeah I’ve got a few things on the go currently. I think many off is when struggling find it hard to focus, I know I do. I’m pretty good at sudoku but then my head’s not right even the simplest of puzzles seem impossible.
changes day to day at the moment. Yesterday I was fairly focused on the rug I’ve been hooking. Today I flirted between the rug, a knitted monkey and a crochet shawl. Put them all away for now as focus isn’t there at all. Today’s been hard with children’s attitudes as much as anything else.Quote:

I'm in awe of anyone who can paint/draw! My daughter is amazingly talented and I love watching her!
I finally finished that rug during lockdown and the knitted monkey which didn’t turn
Out as well as I would of liked. I’m flirting again I currently have 3 call the midwife blankets on my hooks in different colours, a hooded frog blanket on my needles as well as a baby cardigan, a chunky blanket and a lace knitting project. I’ve also started a macrame sampler and had to stop myself starting a plant pot holder too!
Hello, lovely! It’s wonderful to see you :)
You're always so busy with crafts, you're amazing
Yeah but I need to stop using as a procrastination exercise when there’s more important things to do like housework lolQuote:

Selling generally I’m not making to order it’s too much stress
Have you tried things like facebook/etsy/ etc
I’ve got a group on Facebook that probably needs a bit of tlc I’m not sure about other sites right now I’ve got stuff that was created a while ago sitting round but non of my current stuff is anywhere near ready to pop up on the group yet.
No pressure, just saying thoughts out loud lol
