If there's one...Moira - thanks for the advice. If there's one thing I know I respond well to, it's a to-do list. So I'm going to add the fun stuff to my list too!!<br /><br />Claire - thanks for the reminder to take it easy on myself. It's so easy to get carried away with inspiration, but I DO have two other jobs that I'm juggling too, and it can get to be a bit much. I hope you're feeling well - I am so amazed at all you are doing even with so much going on with you body!Carole Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566216332566330250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335770393297045069.post-85203695099031089732010-09-18T05:34:03.668-04:002010-09-18T05:34:03.668-04:00i try to take time off! but im not working full ti...i try to take time off! but im not working full time anymore. due to illness i can no longer work and i can only craft for about an hour a day.. other than that im bed bound and usually completely out of it. I have CFS.. i got cfs after an infection after surgery but they think the main stressor was cuz i was working full time and in the final year of my degree. I couldnt switch off at all. and even when im totally out of it and i cant move my head gets full of pretty craft things. Be careful you dont do too much or you might end up in a wheel chair!<br /><br />You dont need to work as hard as you do... it will come. Your crafts are fabulous. Keep a notebook and i know you get excited but you can plan when you will make your items etc! i have had to be very disciplined with my projects cuz usually after i end up being so exhausted I have like a fainting fit (usually once a week) and used to end up in casualty every flippin time!! Just as a warning to you. your crafts are fabulous. be careful about burning your candle at both ends of the spectrum (my fave cath and kim quote lol)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046692857255775801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335770393297045069.post-11005057482251413962010-09-17T12:03:04.004-04:002010-09-17T12:03:04.004-04:00Hey, Friday's my studio day, too :) I totally ...Hey, Friday's my studio day, too :) I totally feel you on having a hard time taking a break! Maybe you can make a list of non-business things that you can do to relax and kind of treat it like your to-do list, by checking stuff off, etc? Sounds kinda silly, I guess, but might actually work for you?Crafty Moirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10199821551703578672noreply@blogger.com
