Rant, Moan, Blah.

One question I'd like to ask all of you crafters is how do you make the time to be creative? I'm in a moaning mood today and I'm getting annoyed at myself for what I feel is a constant lack of productivity. We all have the same hours in the day and I read so many blogs where people have made fab cards on a daily basis, yet I'm usually lucky to come up with one a week!

This, BTW, is this week's card:

I'd love, for instance, to keep my Etsy shop more regularly updated, and to enter challenges and to share ideas, but I always seem to prioritise a million other things over cardmaking. Has anyone got any tips regarding how they motivate themselves and make the time? Does anyone else feel guilty if they sit making cards when the toilet needs cleaning? I'm in need of advice on this one!

OK, moan over. Despite my little rant there, I've had a pleasant weekend. Himself and I began decorating his man-pad and a good few hours were spent on Saturday rollering walls and ceilings in the lounge. There is still a good way to go but at least it's a start. We didn't even fall out and start throwing paint at each other! Even better, we got to stuff our faces with pizza afterwards!

Sunday I was working so no rest for the wicked there. It was quite "invigorating" though. I'd forgotten how hectic weekends at work can be. And through all this there have been cat bowel worries (againnn - zzz!) as I hoiked Ben to the vets for the millionth time. He's so crabbit when he's there, he turns into Devil Cat within seconds. You gotta love him though. Maybe.

Sorry for the lengthy waffle tonight and lack of cards to show. Normal service should resume soon!
