Always knitting, sewing, baking, cooking from scratch, or encouraging your children in craftwork. You sound like an old-fashioned young mum, just the sort I would like for a daughter. I have two daughters but they are not in the homemaker mould that you are. I hope you find much contentment and satisfaction in your day to day life.

I pushed myself sewing little bunnies for my children for Easter, and then had a few days after of being in a state of not wanting to touch anything creative. I could only muster up the energy to read a book. Last night, the urge returned, and I started knitting up a little cape to go with one of the bunnies.<br />Creative energy is a fickle beast!<br />I love your honesty, btw. Most of the blogs I read are always 'happy happy'. Yours is realistic, which I love. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10738629895733476206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-85450555792967585932013-04-05T23:45:43.749+11:002013-04-05T23:45:43.749+11:00I think you blog is lovely and always pop over to ...I think you blog is lovely and always pop over to read a new post...motivation for me I think is hormonal...dont laugh....I have weeks where I could move mountains, and then a week or so in between that I could just lay down and sleep all day....lol...<br />Fortunately for me , the garden and the ironing pile, I feel a weekend of motivation coming on....Enchanted Momentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861732559521175206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-24931558484618335602013-04-05T22:54:55.785+11:002013-04-05T22:54:55.785+11:00The motivation comes and goes here.

I do think the blogging community is very inspirational in general too as I'm sure I wouldn't have done half the things I've been doing this last year if it wasn't for the inspiration I saw on the posts of fellow bloggers. I've just looked at your previous Post and ity has reminded me that I have material sitting there waiting for me to get around to making the Tova dress. So, thanks for another little urge to put it closer to the to of my list :-) Mel xMel @ Coal Valley Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773581188651200076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-39096613744935194422013-04-05T19:25:40.137+11:002013-04-05T19:25:40.137+11:00I love your blog too Tania.

I love your blog, truely it is one of my favourites and I could not agree with your sentiments more...I love the enthusiasm that other bloggers can inspire in me and vice verser, but I also love the satisfaction within that I get when I can be creative. The two are not mutually exclusive and I have many non-crafty friends that just don't understand my need to create every day...like you said even if it is for ten minutes.
