Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 ohh makes sense, i had another look at the rocks and i can sorta see the resin now. that's pretty interesting! 

 

are you looking to make more christmas-themed crafts?

 

i'm alright, a bit of a slow day for me but hoping my energy will pick up soon. how are you? 😊

Re: I can’t cope

I have no idea how many coasters I have! 😂 @rav3n. They are just easy to play around with the reason. I did get leaf moulds yesterday to make leaf coasters! I might try something different with them. Trying lots of different ways before I make the placemats. They aren’t moulds they are frames. I also got a kit for holographic coasters so I’ll see how they turn out next time I do self care! 

Nah. I just thought it was worth trying. I’ve got some pup thing that I got yesterday too. 

Slow days are good though. It’s hard when you’re working though. 

Im kinda ok. A bit low but I have so much medical stuff happening. I can’t believe I’m saying this… but the doing these arty things for sale care is actually helping. I’m not sitting on the lounge just doom scrolling! 

Re: I can’t cope

Love those @Captain24 I'm a sucker for a fun coaster!

 

I'm so glad that it's been helpful to have these art projects to take your mind off of things.

Love it @Captain24!  

Re: I can’t cope

@Captain24 hehe they do seem fun to play around with! oo leaf one sounds cool too - keen to see how those turn out! i can also see you making a sea/beach themed placemat too.

 

i did take a break earlier, and moved to a brighter spot so i'm feeling a lil change in energy 🙂

 

that's fair, medical stuff can be pretty anxiety-inducing. omg it's so good to hear that the self-care's been helping, good on you for avoiding the doom scroll!! YAY!! 

Re: I can’t cope

oh just saw the bus one 🤩 @Captain24 would you say it's harder to work on than lego?

Re: I can’t cope

The placemats I want to do in greens and blues and kinda swirl them around. I sort of know what i meant it to look like so it’ll need some practice @rav3n 

 

The leaves should be interesting, I won’t be able to do it for a few weeks though. I only have 4 days off after this block and I’m going down to see my

psych in person so that’s a whole day. It’s the first time I’ve had an appointment in 8 weeks so it’ll be a big one. But I’ll tag you when I do something new. 

Im glad you have had an energy change. Light makes a difference whether it’s bright or calming. 

Im sitting here watching tv now and back to the doom scrolling but I don’t want to start anything new since I do back work tomorrow, I can see myself getting stuck into it and not getting any sleep for work! 

It’s pretty cool. It’s heaps harder than Lego. The bits vary in size from really little to a manageable size. They can be hard to put together as they are wooden. The instructions aren’t as clear either. It’s really fiddly but very distracting. I’m licking these easier ones. I do have two much harder ones in the cupboard. Oh and I was looking at what I got yesterday and there is another Christmas one! I don’t even get excited about Christmas. 

All this crafty stuff is helping. I’m really trying to take my mind off everything. I’m having really bad anxiety about going to work tomorrow. It’s consuming me.

Re: I can’t cope

Haha can so relate @Captain24  but did ya know that a flake won’t melt? Stick it in the microwave and nuke it and it won’t melt. So ya might be falling apart but ya won’t melt!
