A week or two ago I realized that I couldn’t find my camera battery charger… This was right after returning from a nature walk with my camera that was fun, slightly wet, cold, and also used up every little bit of my returning camera battery.
I moved a little over a month ago, and there are a couple things that I can’t find, which means they’re likely in my storage unit, which has also confounded me a few times. (I lost an entire tote of kitchen supplies for a half hour because I put it behind something else. And of course that tote had the items I was desperately searching for.)
So when I was missing my camera battery charger, I decided to take a little break from social media. It was delightful, and it freed me up mentally to create some stuff that isn’t photographable. Like a story I’ve been writing off and on for about a year, or the app that I posted about a few weeks ago.
So when I realized last Tuesday (and yesterday for that matter) that I didn’t have a post ready, I decided that it was time to take a small break here too. Can we call it blogger’s block?
I’m still making stuff. This week I finished knitting a shawl, and I’m making a miniature version of a prop. But things like clothing are not supremely necessary for me to make right now. I’ve got plenty of clothes that fit at the moment, and though I could probably use another pair of jeans/trousers, I don’t need any, so I’m not feeling desperate to make anything.
My goals for the next couple months in the making field are to take it slow, and experiment a bit. I’d like to make a blazer for interviews, a pair of trousers in a nice green linen. Maybe a 30s or 40s dress? I’m planning on making a couple sculptures, perhaps to make a mold out of for a costume project. Oh yeah, and maybe a costume or two.
I’ve been posting weekly for about five months, and I think that I need a bit of a recharge. So when will I be back? Could be next week, could be next month…
Regardless of when I’ll next post again, I want to thank you for being around! I’ve been writing for my blog for six years now, according to WordPress’s notification on Sunday, and I’ve been at this site for a bit over six months now, and I’m happy to have you all here!
See you back in a bit!
