I want to share why I've been gone for so long. I'm going through some difficult times right now, and it has really taken a toll on me. I have many new designs, but just coming up with them doesn't mean they're ready to be released for you all. It might take me 30 minutes to think up a new design, but preparing it (creating the pattern, instructions, etc.) can take days.
For many people, this might not be an issue, but I want to admit that I have ADHD, and it's incredibly difficult for me to maintain focus for extended periods. On top of that, my father is currently very ill, in poor condition, and I'm caring for him. His situation is a huge source of stress and has shattered my already fragile concentration. That's why, for months, I haven't even had the strength to write a message – for me, it’s a real quest, especially since I also have to manage translations as my English isn't very good.
So, I have to admit I'm struggling, and it's not because I'm ignoring anyone – it's just been incredibly mentally challenging for me.
I'm slowly starting to get back on my feet now, gradually adding new designs, which helps. Beading helps me, as it often does with ADHD, and it’s a good way for me to get distracted and find some focus. Have you also noticed that beading has a positive impact on you? I've been doing this since childhood, and I'll probably be beading my whole life because it's like an addiction for me :)
