The Blogging Drought

I wanted so much to get one more blog post written and published in the month of October, but before I knew it the days had gone by and here we are. Into November, and into a first for this blog where it has been a whole fortnight since I published my last blog post.
It's been crazy busy here, with disruptions coming in many forms, including the weather with big afternoon storms rolling in with lots of thunder and lightning. I love afternoon storms though, and it's lovely to see the grass turning green and the dam full once again.
In between the busy (a word I am getting tired of quickly and hope I can stop using so much by the end of this year!), there has still been knitting. I've been knitting gifts though, and ornaments for the swap, so I can't really blog about any of it. I've reached the end of my "must knit" list for the first time since early this year, and with the freedom of no deadline, I didn't know what to cast on next.
So I decided to leave it until inspiration struck, and have instead pulled out my spinning wheel.



You may remember my 100 days of spinning challenge, and I must confess that I have decided not to do it anymore. Things came along (see disruptions mentioned above!) that have meant that even if I put in my absolute best effort, the daily spinning just wasn't going to happen. But in the short time that I practised daily spinning, I got into a good rhythm with it, and I was pleased to find out that after not spinning for two weeks, I hadn't forgotten how to peddle and just slid right back into it with ease. I'm still dubious as to the actual quality of my spun yarn, but it will certainly improve with practice. The yarn I am spinning at the moment is the first one I am attempting to have some creative control over, and it's fun.

I'm hoping to get a little more blogging done this month than I did last, which if you know me you're probably shaking your head at and wondering what I'm thinking. In reality, writing a blog post doesn't actually take me very long, it's finding the headspace to do it. When my mind is busy I do have a little bit of trouble sitting down and composing a blog post.
At the same time as loving writing here, I've also realised that it's ok if I don't get to blog as often as I used to. It's much easier to go with the flow than try and keep something the way it used to be when so much else has changed.

I wonder what's been happening in your world lately?
Are you trying to go with the flow or are you keeping control over things?
Are you tired of the word busy, too?

I hope you're having a good week!
