Comment on toltec stalking group, sligo town by june

This sounds absolutely brilliant, and something I’d really like to join in on, but I just wish it were in the mornings or afternoons, rather than evenings/nights. I;m in the south Sligo end of the county, and I’ve never been a big fan of night driving to begin with. Any chance of perhaps some of the ’stalking’ taking place in the daytime? Just a thought…

ps - I love this blog!

Very nice work!
I’m a fan of the little mermaid’s tale (Hans Christian Andersen) and I make for my little daughter an Enciclopedy of the tale.I think it could be beautiful to put on the cover a nice mermaid like this.Ilive in Spain, how much could be one like this but smaller?
Thanks for Your reply.

(I know I’m too late for the giveaway, but I’m going to comment anyway!)

Your post really made me think - it’s so true. I think craft workers in general tend to be perfectionists, which is why we do what we do, and why we’re good at it. However, it can be taken too far. I know I do - I always see the faults in things that I’ve done, not the good bits, and that applies to everything, not just my embroidery.

Starting now, I’m going to try and stop beating myself up about these things and celebrate my achievements, even (or especially) small ones.

I’ve just reupholstered some dining chairs! I’ve never done that before, and I didn’t have enough fabric to make a mess of it and start again, so I had to get it right first time, and I did! They look really good and I’m very pleased. See, I can do it if I try!
