Episode 313 - Ebb and Flow

Now I'm fair marching through my perimenopause state of life and I found along with the puppy, my crafting times are not as vivid or strong as they used to be.

And I read something recently and it did suggest that sometimes you just don't know what to do.

And my hands feel so itchy.

I just feel like I should be doing crafting a lot of the time.

And I'm not getting that creative dopamine out of me because I'm not creating all the time.

But some days you just got to do what your body is needing.

And I thought, oh, yeah.

Because sometimes I just don't feel like crafting or, because just now I'm on holiday, doing anything.

So as long as it's clean, I did my dishes today, I'm doing this just now.

And I think that sometimes is enough.

Daisy and I listened to the Barbie soundtrack on the way home on Tuesday.

Very loudly.

So we're just enough sometimes.

And I think that's enough for me.

So to me, picking up and putting down knitting is like an open flow of things.

I've never been a pick up and just knit, knit, knit, knit.

I've always been conscious that my little hands, because you've got tiny little ponies and your tiny little hannies, even if you've got big, huge hannies, they need a little bit of rest no matter how if you actually do work as craft as you're loving you still need to do other things every now and again because you can strain your muscles and your little boneys and your little honeys so it's a muscle and tendons and ligaments and all sorts of stuff in there So if you're going to start doing that as a main thing, work up to it.

You don't just go out and run a marathon without the training.

Because if you do, it's not a good idea.

You are going to hurt.

So think long term listeners.

Think, just do a little bit now.

Pick it up, put it down, pick it up, put it down.

And you're building it up and building it up and building it up.

All of a sudden you're doing an ultra and there you go.
