Colds and Commitment To Crochet

Apologies for not blogging last week. Last Monday I came down with a really nasty cold (felt like flu) and was bed bound for several days. But I'm feeling much better now, Thank God!

I didn't do any crocheting or crafting at all from Monday to Friday last week. It was very boring, but nice to have a rest.

One thing I have been doing is getting to know my Gimp software. I've had it for months now but have never really used it, mainly because I don't know how. But I was bored, and bunged up, so looked for tutorials on YouTube. So, instead of making amigurumi, I've been 'drawing' pictures of them. Here's my vector version of Gibbley :)


Nothing special, just me having a mess about with paths and gradients and such. It's quite addictive! If anyone has any tips for me I would greatly apprecate it!

On Saturday I returned to crochet and got a custom order doll finished, and did a bit of my brothers hat. But since then I have hardly done any crochet or amigurumi. I really can't get back into it :( I've been going through Ravelry for days looking for something to make, and found a cute dinosaur, which I started, but have just abandoned as I just can't be 'bothered'. What's happening to me?! It's left me with nothing to do, as crocheting is all I did. I hope it's just a phase; crocheting made me so happy!

So I might not be around for a while. I'll try to keep this updated with bits and bobs but there won't be much crocheting :( Pray for me!!
