RENEWAL OF SPIRIT

Dearest Readers,

Do you ever just get bogged down with daily "must-dos," and you find little time to just enjoy your craft?

I think so many of us feel that way, I know I do.

To get over this hump, I have started a list of goals for must-dos and a separate list for creative-dos.  This does not require any elaborate journal (although I am a sucker for pink leather planners), but rather just a list on plain paper. I do keep mine in a notebook. 

I make it a point to do one to two items on the must-do list every day and the same for the creative-dos.

It doesn't have to be anything elaborate, but the key is being able to mark off what you've done. This not only gives you a sense of accomplishment, but also gives you time then to move to your creative list. And my creative list can be very simple things such as looking up an article I know I have in one of my knitting books, or it can be as challenging as trying to spin some cobweb lace. But again, you have to mark off that item on the list to feel like you've satisfied your need to not be overwhelmed and to keep on keepin' on.

Most of you know this right? What I'm giving you is permission to do this....that's right. Sometimes I feel like I need someone to push me to do something I've known all along. This is a simple idea that takes very little time and once you start with the list making, you will be adding and marking things off. So what are you waiting for...go get that paper...and uh, yeah, a pencil....or a pen.

Stay tuned for more of my daily activities dealing with all kinds of yarny fun, some handspun, some inspiration, etc. I'm going to be blogging regularly now that I'm back on track myself and oh, please visit my shop here https://prisknits.fibercrafty.com
