I've Lost My Mojo

I am really unmotivated at the moment to do any sewing.

I haven't picked up my hoop for a couple of weeks now.  I want to get on with my HAED Tree of Life but I always find something else to do rather than doing it.

This heart was the last thing I made for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day.




I hate feeling like this about sewing because it is my favourite thing to do normally but just sometimes I can't be bothered.

This Sunday I have nothing planned so I'm going to try to get some done, it's normally alright once I get started and can't tear myself away from it.

Do you ever have spells like this? What do you do about it?

Wow I didn't realise that it had been such a long time since I last posted, I am sorry about that.  I have been busy with not only my personal cross stitch but also my business Thirtyish Mish Stitch.  I have made quite a few new things and I am also now doing button art letters and pictures..







I am also now over a 3rd of the way through my WIP HAED Tree of Life which I will do a seperate post about...

Thanks for reading and if you want to follow me then you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, Etsy and Pinterest.

Sorry this post hasn't been that interesting but i do promise to a better post this week xxxxx

Some New Designs

Now that the mad Christmas rush is over, I have been working on some new designs. I am currently designing a new baby sampler, wedding gift and an exclusive home sweet home framed picture...


 
I hope to be able to get a sample one made up by next week so keep you eyes peeled for that.
 
If I don't manage to blog before Christmas, I hope you all have a wonderful time and get to spend it with you loved ones.

I've been rubbish at keeping up with my cross stitch the past couple of weeks! I think I must have stitched for about the grand total of 2 hours in 2 weeks!  I have got so much to do before Christmas too!

I have finished 2 out of the 4 stockings that I am making for the kids (and 1 for my sister) and I am half way through the 3rd.  Then when they are finished I need to sew them together.



I have also cross stitched some baubles so I need to sew those together too.

At the moment I am making stuff for my business to sell at a few craft fairs that we have booked up between now and Christmas so that's taking most of my stitching time up.



Hope you are all well and don't forget to follow me on twitter @ThirtyishMish and I am getting round to making a facebook page for this blog too.
