One of our cats (Vinnie), got very ill with pancreatitis and that became my only priority. He&#8217;s hale and hearty again now, thanks to the skills and efforts of our veterinary clinic, but I was justifiably distracted for quite a while. The arms I recently purchased for my mannequin don&#8217;t work as expected, and while I know I&#8217;m going to be able to fix them with a quick trip to the hardware store, it sort of killed my motivation. An obi I was incredibly excited to coordinate seems to have gotten lost in the mail. I had to deal with the unpleasant task of banning an incredibly rude and abrasive person from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KimonoTsuki\">Kimono Tsuki Facebook<\/a> page (and subsequently my personal account). On top of all this, the weather here in Montreal has been absolute\u00a0<em>garbage\u00a0<\/em>recently and the available light for taking photos is nearly zero. Despite all this, I thought today I&#8217;d do a coordination to get my mojo back, and pretty much everything that could have gone wrong did, so I stepped away.<\/p>\n<p>All together, these things have added up and my motivation has taken a huge hit. But I do definitely have some art and DIY projects in the works, and the mannequin&#8217;s arm issue is going to be fixed one way or another in the next few days. so I&#8217;ll be back in full force soon!\u00a0 I&#8217;d like to apologise, and sincerely thank you for sticking around. I haven&#8217;t gone anywhere, I promise! In the meantime, I do still make sure to share interesting links, videos, and photos on my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KimonoTsuki\">facebook page<\/a>, so you can always come hang out there. And as a thank you for reading til the end of this silly post, enjoy this photo I took of a beautiful doll several years ago at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jcccm-cccjm.ca\/\">Montreal JCCC.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/moonblossom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/japanese-doll_5544021423_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter
