For some reason I have been lacking in motivation lately. My brain has been coming up with newer or better things to make, but getting to making them is oddly difficult for me right now. Tonight, for example, I had planned to sit down and try and making a beaded bangle cover for the forms I bought a while ago. The internet and BluRay players were not getting along and Netflix kept having to load, play at low quality, and sometimes didn't have sound. I got annoyed after restarting it a few times and having the same problems. Instead of just putting on a regular movie or using my tablet to watch things I got onto the computer and just watched YouTube instead of doing anything.
I'm hoping once I get a good night's sleep tonight and finish with work tomorrow I will be able to focus more. I have had these bracelets planned for a while now, and no one will notice them until I have them made and ready to show off.

Kitties Fur a Cause.
Does it count as a collaboration if I am working with myself? I am combining my love of helping charities with the fact that I wanted to make something limited edition on my Etsy shop. I had thought of making some cute buttons back in December, but I didn't know what I wanted to make. I thought it would be fun if they all had the same thing on them, but were slightly different versions.
I then thought that I wanted to make something cute, like a cat, with different patterns on it. This was early January. I didn't know how to make them stand out and unique. Why would someone want to buy them if they are just okay looking? It wasn't until recently that I thought to combine my charity blog and my Etsy shop.
My plans are to make button/badges with cute cats on them and to determine the pattern I will make a design based on the charity that is usually associated with the given month. Some months have more than others, but I can just make a new design for when I will repeat a cause. One of the problems I might run into are that some awareness groups don't have a signature color or pattern to use. I will have quite a few to run through before I have to worry about that though. I will also be putting the name of the cause on them since a few are very similar.
