Craft With Me

2/1/2017

1 Comment

 
If you follow Miss Red across multiple social media accounts then you'll know that this year Instagram has been my jam.  @MissRedCreates hit 1000 followers over the Christmas break, which is awesome, I'm so touched by all the support.

With the start of 2017 I brought back the Craft With Me Challenge & the prompts for January are up - I'll pop a picture below for anyone who's interested.  The whole challenge is, of course, craft related but the individual daily photo prompts are open to your own interpretation within that.

As the first day of this month is new years day I've left that as a day off for everyone to have some downtime.  The first real post has gone up today, withsome additional Instagram story posts to suggest hashtags to use & to remind people to post their introduction posts today.

If you are on Instagram (or even if you're not & just want to check it out) you can find me here @MissRedCreates where I'll be posting my own interpretations of the prompts as well as showing my creations.  I can't wait to see you guys over there!

This, plus bed is almost all there is to life at the moment. I'm definitely overdue fun times with friends, maybe even outside of my house!

I'm still fulfilling online orders, just slightly slower than usual. If you're after orders in time for Christmas the sooner you can get those orders in the better. ;)

The Art Of Being Normal - Lisa Williamson.  

I thoroughly enjoyed this, as is evident by the fact I devoured it all in one go. Now I need something new to read...any suggestions?

Making slow progress on the blue eye again. 25ct 1 over 1 feels like getting nowhere fast but I adore how it looks. I'm working a couple of 14ct projects alongside this in an effort to stay motivated & feel like I'm actually getting somewhere.

Give me some love if you'd like to receive a box of Miss Red cross stitch goodies every month, or even as an occasional treat or gift for your favourite cross stitcher.

If you have a spare minute I'd love to hear what you'd like to see in the boxes & how much you'd expect to pay. Would you like to choose from a monthly selection or get a complete surprise?

So This Is My Day...

12/7/2016

I don't often put much on social media on bad days. As I lay here in bed I feel like rather than let my #mecfs ,#fibromyalgia , #bipolar ,#anxietydisorder & the myriad other health issues take me prisoner I need to own it.

It was my birthday Saturday. I did everything right for the fortnight before just to get out of the house for that one night. I got out. I had fun. I plastered a smile on my face, I hid the pain as best I could in an effort to avoid the pitying look people give when they see the crutch & the winces as I move.

I came home & I slept & a moment later it was Monday. Six orders to create & pack, I dragged myself around, still in pjs. Muscles felt like tearing, joints raw, vision reduced by migraine, chills & sweats, feeling like drowning, being pulled too hard by gravity. With swollen fingers, forgetfulness, confusion I worked through the pile. Exhausted. That kind of exhausted that doesn't let you sleep.

I know whilst I'm physically alone today there are more like me, painting a picture of normality as far as possible but shut away when it's too much to hide. We live with #chronicillness , #invisibleillness , with #chronicpain people don't believe even exists.

I've set up a group & I invite my fellow spoonie crafters & creatives to join me in this safe & creative space. No motive beyond wanting to support one another & raise each other up, maybe even have a chuckle or two. Its at Spoonie Crafters & I'd love you to join me. 
Take care,
