Re: A long rave
I am wide awake and have been since way too early this morning. I'm driving myself a bit mad but I'm OK enough thanks ☺. I feel like I have a zillion things to do but I know I don't really have a zillion things to do and especially not before then sun comes up!
Anything on for you today or that you'd like to do?

Re: A long rave
@CheerBear, have you had much sleep at all before waking too early?
I have no plans for today. Housework is looming at the moment, especially cleaning my bathroom and doing the kitchen. Other than that, zilch plans.
Still pretty tired though, may get some more sleep before I wake up for good today.

Re: A long rave
Good luck with the looming housework! I have a big pile of washing that is looming that I should probably tackle today.

Re: A long rave
I can understand how getting mail from c-link and a bill might wipe out sleep possibilities, @CheerBear. Hope both are okay news. Some more washing on my part would be a welcome thing too. On the other hand, I have a feeling I'm going to be fighting to stay awake today, despite the good chunk of sleep. Will see how I go resisting it!
Have you been getting to your crochet over the past couple of days? That picture you posted was really lovely.

Re: A long rave
Thank you 🙂 It's a lovely pattern. I haven't made any kind of square or tile blanket before because I can't stand sewing in all of the yarn ends that need to be done with them. A couple of months ago I pieced together a stack of squares with all their yarn ends, for a friend who had a someone close pass away while making a blanket for a new baby. It showed me that it's not the end of the world to sew tiles (lol) and I decided to keep going with my first tile project. I tried to do some more yesterday but was too racy. I'll definitely be taking it with me next week and I'm sure I'll get some done then 🙂

Re: A long rave
It wouldn't be easy living with that raciness either, @CheerBear. Calming hugs to you.
It's great that you have persisted with the tile patterns. Persistence is a good trait for craft and so many other things in life. I couldn't make the videos without a lot of persistence. It may be one of my good traits (touch wood, lol).
Having said that I am struggling with a project at the moment. Hopefully I'll get there in the end.

Re: A long rave
I can see you being persistent, and patient too probably. While it can be frustrating to struggle through and need to chip away at things, I think it seems to make them extra good feeling when they're finished, like I see your videos giving you. What kind of struggle are you having with your video (if you can/want to share)?

Re: A long rave
This video is a different sort of project for me so my 'go to' methods are not really working with it, @CheerBear. I'm working closely via email with a writer who is also the creator of the original images for this one. She has particular ideas about how the video might be, but I am probably not able to deliver what she is envisaging. All of it makes me a feel less confident in the process and a bit anxious that it won't be finished. That does happen sometimes, the not finishing some projects. It's not the end of the world if that happens, but it's clearly preferable if something comes of it, especially when someone else is hoping for it too.

Re: A long rave
Better head out and do the morning thing. I hope the rest of your morning goes well if I don't catch up with you again this morning ☺
Enjoy the sunrise 🌞❤
