I am still here, just haven't been motivated to post about my creative life. I have been busy since I last posted - knitting, sewing, quilting, weaving and spinning. I created holiday gifts and holiday cards. I worked on a special project all last year of a handwoven calendar which I gifted - 12 different handwoven fabrics. Sorry no photos of any of it right now, I got ticked by a box that came up from google when I tried to upload photos asking for permission to do more with cookies - nope, tired of being tracked so much, no privacy anymore.
I'm on the fence on if I'll continue to blog but I do come to my blog dashboard on a daily basis to read other blogs I follow. For the time being my blog will stay just in case I want to post in the future. I am not on facebook, instagram or any other social media and intend to keep it that way.
I'm afraid if I start posting again I may get too political. I'm embarrassed by what's happening in this country originating in the White House. I'm also very scared for the country and all who live in it. I did not vote for that wanna-be dictator this last time or the time before, or the time before that. That's all I have to say, or should say, about the subject..........
I hope all who read this are spending much of their time enjoying being creative - I know it helps keep me sane and is a lifesaver. I'm finding there are so many projects I want to work on but so little time. Goal for the remainder of the year is to make sure I don't fritter too much time to interfere with the fun things in life.
The best to you all.........thank you for reading over the years.
I’ve always enjoyed reading your blog posts over the years. Thank you☺️
ReplyDeleteI have found that Blue Sky app is a safe place for artists and politics.
What I like is the positive engagement with real people. So far it is not owned by a tech bro.
Thank you. I've recently learned of Blue Sky, it sounds like a good option.
DeleteA lot of us feel the same way. I am glad you can find respite in crafting. I am having trouble with that. The depression keeps me kind of frozen.
ReplyDeleteI have days like that too..........
DeleteI only recently discovered your blog, but I totally understand where you are coming from. We also have many of the same hobbies! Weaving, cross stitch, quilting. <3
ReplyDeleteHi Cindie,
ReplyDeleteI am writing to you again because I am serious about my inquiry. I do not mean to be pushy I just wanted to reach out again and explain the situation. I am a 22 year old from Minnesota and this summer I am leading a 40 day canoe trip in the Arctic, the organization we do it through (camp Widjiwagan in Ely MN) has a tradition to make scarves (sashes) for our trips to symbolic connect us. My group loves your work and we would be very excited to talk to you if possible about commissioning you to make our sashes. Thank you. email: flanmcgreevy@gmail.com
Sorry to say this is not something I would be interested in doing. I no longer sell my weaving or anything else. I have retired after several decades so I can focus on creating what I want, when I want. I wish your group well.
