just a bit blah

My sock monkey efforts have not really been very successful.  In fact, of late many of my sewing efforts have ben somewhat unsuccessful.  Part of the problem is that I've allowed my sewing and creative space to become cluttered, disordered and messy, and when I've actually sat down to do some sewing my mind has been elsewhere and this has resulted in less than perfect results.

However, the two sock monkeys I have made are very popular with the kids.  Smartie and Blondie love them to death, and the green one is a particular favourite.  After much begging, I have promised them a sock monkey each for their birthday.  Great, imperfect sock monkey production line.  Yay. not.

My obligations to the tax department are breathing their hot and unsavoury breath down my neck, and it gets worse as each day passes.  I have vowed to myself that I will tidy my studio tomorrow night, and complete my tax return on Sunday.

Well, that's the plan anyway.

Lately I've been pondering my role in the Australian and more specificaly Brisbane Blythe community.  I can't put my finger on what it is that is making it so, but I just don't seem to fit in.  Of course, my first instinct is to say my weight.  It's always my first port of call when there's blame to be laid, but honestly, this time I think it's only part of the problem.  At present I really just want to withdraw.  Blythe is something I love in and of itself, I don't need a group or a board or anything like that, in fact the meets are more stressful than they are fun.  Jonathan is fun, and I'll keep up with him, but I don't think I'm going to bother with going to any more meets.

I think my period's on its way, I always get a bit down and blah like this just before...

I'm also dreading tomorrow.  Plumber arrives at 7:30am, and no water or toilet after this time, until about 4:30pm.  Nightmare.  I just can't be bothered with it all at the moment.
