It's all felt as though life has just been drifting by lately.
All the fertility medication that I am now taking makes me swing between anxious, stressed, nervous, angry, calm and tired. A curious selection of emotions at the best of times and I am not feeling very creative at all. I have started an ominously long term project, a contemporary counted cross stitch by Emily Peacock called 'hug'. It is wonderful but my stitching speeds are not great so I feel that it is going to take me quite sometime to complete especially as I am not feeling in the mood for much at all.
I have also enrolled for a jewellery making and silver smithing course, run locally by Alice Robson. I am quite excited and I was inspired by my dear friend Nicci, who makes some really lovely pieces of jewellery herself. She has started on a simple course in Maidstone, so I will have someone to compare notes with.
Life has also taken a more dark turn with the news that my mother in law's cancer has returned to her lymph nodes and oesophagus. She is so wonderfully stoic about it all, she takes it all full on the chin and just battles on. And on days when I feel overwhelmed by my newly acquired, rampaging hormones, it makes me more determined to battle on too.
