Hi Jeanette, Cabin Girl is looking good, we are always too critical of our own makes. I'm a girl (girl! that's a laugh) for making lists and get great satisfaction ticking them off, unfortunately they mount up quicker than I can tick 🤣. Have a safe journey on Saturday and have a wonderful time at your daughter's, in case I don't catch up before you go x

Lovely day here in the SE, bright and sunny, sorry! You did make me laugh when you said 'because I want to make everything ... I end up making nothing!' You make so much, every time we see you you show us another new make or something that has had great progress. Being a crafter is so exciting, it's so good for us. We just want to make more and more and more. Great - our pleasure is never ending. Enjoy your weekend (and your socks!)

Hi dear Jeanette - I totally understand your overwhelmed feeling - I think it’s a matter of finding your own level of comfort 😊I mainly knit and I find that 3 things on the go is enough for me! At the moment I’m making a pair of socks (good for car knitting if I’m not driving of course 😂), a cardi for my 2 year old granddaughter and a longer term project, a farmyard playset for her little sister’s first birthday next July. Any more than that and I don’t get the satisfaction of finishing anything and I just feel that it’s a slog!! And of course those lists of priority projects help immensely - good luck 🍀
@craftycleggscreations7 ай бұрын
I’ve decided on 2 per week. And I’ll just have to chop and change if there not completed in that time frame ( if that makes sense ) x

Oh Jeanette, it's so easy to feel overwhelmed when you do so much! I am trying to stick to one crochet, one embroidery and one knitting project at a time. I had 3 blanket packs before Christmas including the Persian Tiles but have put the yarn into the stash cupboard, so I can't see the packs anymore. That really helped. I hope your list helps.

The first thought 💭 that popped into my head was “we need a month-long CAL focussed on finishing up some of these wips - #WipsToFos Cal?” …but then my second thought was “Lee, we are all already overwhelmed with our projects as it is, that’s a dreadful idea” 😂! All that to say, I hear you, Jeanette 💝! Very much finding myself in a similar situation at the moment 😅 Love the journaling idea. Lists are the best 💝 I’ve also recently found that following your ‘crojo’ is a great way to reduce project-related stress, too. Whatever I feel like working on when I sit down, that’s what I’ll pop my hook into. New project or old, it doesn’t matter. Working on what you’re finding the most joy in in that moment has been really wonderful and has been working well for me lately. Only trouble is, I have added to my WIP collection 😫 the never-ending crocheter’s battle continues 😅💕 I cannot WAIT for your Persian Tiles project 🥳 So excited for it. Wonderful visit as always! So enjoying these crafty chats 😘❤! Xx

I'm right with you there Jeanette. I do get overwhelmed with what I've got and then I go and buy more yarn, without even a plan of what I'm going to make, hence why I've got too much yarn (can you ever have too much though 😉). I also have mini micro obsessions with things, I'm on a Toft obsession at the minute. Thankfully I've got a LOT of Toft yarn so that will keep me busy and happy for a while without the need to spend any money. And to top it all I've decided I'm going to knit me and Chris a hat for when we go to Scotland at Easter (hopefully we won't need them but it doesn't matter if we don't) and I've decided to start a large blanket project for my friend whose birthday is in just over a week's time....obviously I'm not going to get it finished, but I can tell her what she will be getting, eventually. So on that note I hope you feel a little better and that you know there's a lot more of us than you think. Happy crafting and have a lovely weekend with Katie xxx

I am just like you with my long list of projects I want to make. I agree it can feel overwhelming at times so I devised a new way to approach this that is working for me. I purchased from Amazon an A4 whiteboard with coloured markers and I list three projects on the hook then those in line to make. I also made small project cards for these projects detailing things like what yarn I need, where the pattern is stored and the hook size. I find it really satisying when I remove completed projects off the board or start new ones. It feels like I have some sort of control of the situation.
