CONFESSION: I am now, officially, 15 weeks behind on Project 52. Awesome. Good job. Why am I 15 weeks behind? Two reasons:
1) Life. It has a tendency to interfere on occasion with life-y things and
2) A total lack of interest & inspiration
As you know I’ve been stressed. I’ve also been busy trying to get ready for October (which tends to be one of my busier months as far as my handmade business goes). But if I’m truly honest with you, I’ve been in a pretty big funk. What fun. Add all that to the fact that Project 52 started to feel more like a burden than a fun way to flex my creative muscles and I was done. Down for the count.
I SUFFERED A CREATIVE CRASH AND BURN
I have been spreading myself way (and I mean waaaaaay) too thin both personally and professionally and it all became too much. Project 52 was just one more thing on my already maxed out to-do list so instead of being a to-do it quickly became a to-don’t bordering on an I-don’t-give-a-f*ck. So I stopped. I quit. Instead I began focusing on more handmade pieces and personal projects – two things I had been neglecting in a really big way.
But as I was cleaning up my desktop and sifting through files I realized I have several that I could have sworn I shared with you but, lo and behold, my burnt out ass must have imagined it because after an exhaustive search of Kisses & Chaos the posts and images in question were nowhere to be found. (I know I posted them, damnit.) So here I am, presenting them to you for what I’m fairly certain is the second time (thanks to the goblins that live in the internet aether that ate the original posts which have disappeared…I swear I know I shared them with you before…*shaking head in frustration and confusion*). Enjoy the déjà vu, my dears.

While I’m still not 100% emotionally or creatively, I am trying. I am trying to trim the fat, reorganize, prioritize and get back in the groove (which, if Lady Miss Kier is to be believed, is in the heart)…and that includes Project 52 and the not-the-bit-daunting 15 (and growing) image game of catch up I get to play. Damn good thing I enjoy a challenge, work well under pressure and have a brain that never shuts the hell up (despite my fervent protests).
I’ve been missing you guys like mad. Here’s to hoping I get my sh*t together and that life quits riding my ass so I can focus. MUWHA! Love you my lovely ladies and gents.
Kisses & Chaos,
Alli Woods Frederick
