A New Challenge

I know we are almost half of the way through January but I have decided that I am going to make something everyday. Doesn't have to be big or fancy but that is my aim for the next 365 days. I will try and post a picture everyday of my achievements to inspire and encourage me to carry on. I will come back later with todays make.

At a Loss

Lately I feel very lost and my usual inspiration has disappeared. For example, before Christmas I bought a gorgeous skein of wool from Manos Del Uruguay Silk Blend in my colours (burnt orange, deep red and a rusty brown colour). It was quite a luxury buy just for me. I take it out at least once a day and look at it, touch it and dream of what it could be transformed into. Yet it is still untouched. Everytime look I cannot find that perfect pattern or inspiration. What is going on. Anyone who knows me knows that this is just not me.

It is the same in baking. I see so much deliciousness but feel no inspiration to create my own little treats. I am hoping it is just the unusual weather or time of year with all the darkness but my inspiration and joie de vivre better return soon.
