I’m so proud I’ve been focusing + compiling each small projecting. It’s been satisfying. I’ve had to stop periodically as my chronic #vestibular #migrain s act up + bother my eyes but that’s training me to stop when I need a break I suppose.
What’s everyone else been working on!? These are going to look fabulous on my citrus patio in a few weeks (hopefully that soon if not sooner!) 👍🏻 🍊 🍋 🍍🥝🍉 #Summer
I am probably the master (or at least one of them) of abandoning hobbies within a few days or weeks of trying them out. I seriously think I like the *idea* of picking out new hobbies than actually sticking to a new one — at least when it’s just me doing them. If I have friends to keep me accountable, then that’s a different story...
I could name so many crafts I have tried and abandoned *this year* alone. (In my defense, 2020 has felt as though it’s gone on for about 400 years.) Anyway, I’d love to know what hobbies you have tried out but ended up letting collect dust on your shelves.
P.S. There’s absolutely no shame trying something and stopping for whatever reason: whether it’s because you didn’t like it, your health limits the way you can interact with it or you simply just don’t feel like doing it anymore.

We’ve all been there before. Perhaps you had a stellar idea in mind and were able to figure out all the details for this project but when you went to put it in motion, it just didn’t work out the way you planned. That’s OK. It happens to every DIYer now and then — including the experts. (I mean, have you watched any episode of an HGTV show ever?)
Tell us about one of your DIY mishaps. And who knows, maybe there’s a fellow Mighty in the comments who knows a thing or two about your craft and might be able to give a few encouraging pointers for next time (if they’re able to).

Good Afternoon Mighty Family
I'm late with my post today
Because the 🌞 decided to come out and play
So I could go round to my Eldest Son's and Daughter-in-law garden for some social distancing chat and some very much needed human contact.
As you can see my 2 pups got some much needed play time with their buddy Salami the Sausage Dog too. 💞🐶🌭
It was so nice to spend a couple of hours with them on my son's new decking he built whilst on lockdown. He actually went back to work for the first time this week. For a whole 3 days.
I also met my brand new neighbours who have just moved in next door to me. They told me their names . 🤔 what were they. Nope gone. 🤦♀️
I also put up a little string bead curtain on my door to deter the flies a bit. All sparkly and lilac.
I am doing well today.
I'll crash later 😅🤗😘😁☀️🌈🐕🐶🤗🌝🌤😎😊
Love n hugs Tj 💚💛🧡❤❣💜🖤💙💥💫💢💣💬🕶 #diy #Sparkly #Family #puppy #crash #ChronicPain #RareDisease #TrigeminalNeuralgia #PsoriaticArthritis #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #Lonliness #Humancontact #Bekind #checkonyourneighbours #Love
