Merry go round

Every last friday of the month, I jump on the 'Merry go round'. What is the Merry go round exactly? Each month, a group of craftswomen from around the world join together and give their reponses to the same question/challenge.This months question was 'do you take a holiday from your craft/art?
I can't remember last time I took a holiday from my creative work as I always seem to be doing something. It's a constant factor in my life and I wouldn't know any other way really. When I go away on a road trip, even if it's only a short one, I usually take a bag along to assemble happy girls. My hands are always busy and it feels strange if they are not doing anything.
The past weeks have been busy with house chores so my creative time has been limited but I don't see it as a holiday as it was totally not my choice not to be creative. :)
Nearly done with all the house stuff so I hope to be back on my blog sometime soon to share creative stuff again. :)
Want to know if the other Merriers are taking a creative break? Hop over to their blogs. Please bear in mind that the members will be posting at different times of the day, depending on which world time-zone they are in :)

I'm exactly the same, Mitsy. I have to be doing something with my hands all the time. I think it's one of the reasons I love crochet so much... I can take it anywhere :) Kx
Yey, I can't wait to see your creative work again!
I love that you keep your hands busy, Mitsy. What a wonderful image to ponder :)
I've just started knitting a new project ...... while I don't have time at the moment to do silver or aluminum, knitting is so easy to pick up and put down! It's fun to just keep on going isn't it! Find something new to keep busy with.
Always something in one's hands... Sounds so familiar... ;)
This summer we went on our first family holiday in five years. The time coincided with my commitment to write each day. I did though some days were more challenging than others. I am both a writer and the owner of a soap company. My life is usually awash in creativity--the demand to be or the urgent desire to be!

Love your blog.
