So... crafting has not been happening much of late!
For the past few years, it has simply been a matter of time and the effects of manual labour on my hands. It's rather hard to crochet, for example, when your skin is so rough that yarn snags on it and pulls right off the hook - and yes, even with the use of hand lotion.
Other things have changed. I am now officially considered disabled, though my physical disability usually means needing to sometimes use a cane or a walker, or having trouble sleeping due to pain.
More recently, I had some very strange things going wrong and, before my referral to a specialist went through, I ended up in the ER, then had surgery, then back in the ER. I will probably be getting more surgery, though when and what kind will depend on test results.
It has meant, however, that I am severely restricted when it comes to physical activity.
It's driving me nuts. I loved the work I was doing outside. Manual labour feels good!
Depending on how things do, though, I might be able to increase my crafting again, if only to do something productive and not go stir crazy from imposed inactivity.
Which means I might actually be able to start posting more frequently here again.
We shall see how it goes!
