So Fed Up

True KT but the book requires effort and am not up to effort, at the moment I am doing 30 minutes tidying (and nagging) and 30 minutes at my desk

Well Ruth, all I can do is sympathise and say I know the feeling. Can't get going at all

Have to agree about having messy workspace. I often stop halfway through the
day and tidy up. I get bits out and they pile up round me. That's why I envy those
of you with craftrooms.

I have realised, over the years, that the main problem is that we don't use all of anything we take out for a project. You're then left with a load of "filing" - the trick is to have containers (I use fruit punnets for a lot of things) for different bits and pieces so you can put the left-overs/remains of the packet etc in there. Then, once a week or whatever, you do your filing and everything goes back in its place.

As I have got going with the sorting the mojo is starting to come back, stil more for colouring images as opposed to putting them onto cards but I feel the buzz as it were. I have a vision i my head of how I want my crafting space to be and then how I am going to achieve that

Agreed. now I have the Tardis upstairs, I have a shallow basket in the hallway
and when I have finished with something I have been using thyat needs to go back
upstairs I put it in the basket. The system is working well.

it seemed to me you were getting it back - we've seen some lovely layouts and cards from you lately. Im glad you are feeling a bit better.

Thanks Maria, I think the change in medication has helped, and I have come to terms with what happened with the charity so now I am at a stage where I don't feel like I should be doing something on any given day. Garry has helped too plus the kids.

Good to hear it, Ruth.

Have done some major rearranging this afternoon as a result of the promarker holder, now more chaos than order so am off for a cup of tea

good to hear ruth , yyaaay ruths mojo is making a return

Things always get worse before they get better when you are sorting stuff out!

Was thinking that myself, why does tidying up make so much mess?
Sounds like you've got things in priority order a bit more now. Enjoy.

I think if your mojo isn't up to much, I think sorting things out like your
promarkers makes you want to do something. Also, sorting your Promarkers
shows that the interest is still there.

Well done Ruth, I was thinking of going through my craft stuff and clearing out what I haven't looked at for 2-3 years. It'd be just like me to need afterwards though.
