To all my crafty little ghouls~

I might be adding a lot more patterns than I usually do over the next few months. I had been trying to test if I’m well enough to run a little Etsy shop and sell some patterns, but after several months it appears that my conditions are still too much on me to do much of any kind of organized, productive type of thing. *sigh* But rather than push myself and wind up relapsing worse than before, I know I need to find a way to let go of the goal in the back of my mind that keeps pushing me to attempt the whole Etsy shop thing. It’s just too much for me to handle, so it looks like I’ll be publishing a handful of my patterns on here for free to make sure I stop trying to be hard to get along with and putting too much pressure on myself.

I just get so frustrated sometimes when I realize I just. Can’t. Do the things that would make me feel more secure. It’s not that I’m not intelligent enough to come up with ways of making money and such, it’s simply that I can’t handle any kind of pressure or anxiety, most of the time I can’t even handle good stress. The years roll on and it isn’t getting better. But, hey! At least the whole Craftyghoul site and Facebook page has turned out to be something I CAN do, and that is very comforting because it makes me feel like I have a place in society to belong where I’m helpful and can give back a little, no matter how limited what I have to offer may be!

But that’s it! Keeps your eyes open for new free patterns!

Yours Truly,
