Hello friends! Sorry I have been away from my blog for almost a year. Earlier I used to sit for hours together making cards or painting and that has caused me a severe back pain. So I was asked to rest and be away from crafting for a while. At the same time, I was also going through a rough phase in my personal life. I couldn't concentrate on anything and felt like my creativity has all gone away. My mind got numb and frozen.
But even though I was away from my blog, I had been browsing through all your blogs and craft tutorials. You all have inspired me in one way or the other. I have decided not to worry about my Creative block and been trying to learn new things. I have been reading a lot. I visited some of the awesome places which were on my list. I have been into photography and bird-watching. Now I can recognise most of the birds of India :)
And you know what?! I felt my creativity coming back to me , but my health won't permit me to work continuously for a long stretch of time and my Doctor said though I can get back to crafting, I must take breaks in between. So in those short intervals I could afford, I have been experimenting with clay, I learnt how to make jewelry and for the past two days, I have been learning how to knit on loom, and also new stitches in crochet.
I took pics of the jewelry I made, but they didn't come out good. Have to figure out how to photograph jewelry. Ideas anyone?
Though I am afraid I won't be posting as regularly as I did before, I promise you I'll be in touch :)
P.S. I forgot to tell you that I was chosen as the 'Pin it to Win it' Winner on their Facebook page by Inspired by Stamping. My goodies have been shipped today. Eagerly waiting for them to arrive :)

lovely kiranmayee and congrats on the win. enjoy. I too learnt crochet recently and really finding it hard :( . Hey you put the hangings on a stand or tree branch
ReplyDeleteThank you Kavitha. Tree branch sounds good, will give it a try :)
DeleteI have only tried appliques and embellishments till now. I found video instructions easier to follow. Been trying free online patterns these days, some of them are simple and easy too. I'll try to post them soon, try them :) Post your crochet works too, would love to see them.
