Apologies for those on tenterhooks.. slight hold up in posting our inaugural episode due to unexpected severe spoon depletion.

We won’t be long though!

Oh!
I have a friend who uses her amazing textile skills to do the sane thing.

Do share some photos?

Oh!
You are sooooo not alone!!!
β€œBroken” is the word I used yesterday.

What sort of making and creating is your thing?

(Apart from anything else, I’ve been wanting to venture into writing choral music for ages and wouldn’t mind a few starting tips!)

Yes!
My guitars are staring at me. The keyboards are ready. But the effort of simply reaching is daunting.

I guess #TooTiredToMake is an attempt at a different sort of making and a way of connecting.

I think we’d like to talk with you.

This is so special!!!
Thank you for sharing.
I know that we all experience different barriers - there are times when I feel fortunate - but the arm thing…. I get that.

Please share your progress. We want to help celebrate it in our own small way.

When you’ve been lying awake since 4:00am, struggling to breathe, but with all the things you would love to do flowing through your head. That.

If those thoughts weren’t causing painful turbulence in the treacle they were fighting through I’d be up writing, or playing, or editing.

"ADHD is when distracted"

WRONG

ADHD is when brain play reggaeton at top volume inside head at 6:45 in the morning.

I'm not convinced about the framing here. On the one had it looks as though Merlin Entertainment say they've asked, and the system isn't workinng for children with #Autism and #ADHD. On the other, they aren't putting anything in place to replace it. On the face of it though - Not good enough!

We're new, and the news in general is as dismal as the weather here in the UK. So cheer us up with your wins this week.
What have you made?
Small or huge.
We need the smiles!

πŸ‘‹ Hello. We’re Too Tired To Make.

A space for where art, wellbeing and disabilty meet, and energy is limited. We’re here to think in public about making with care, pacing, and honesty β€” no pushing through, no neat answers.

If you’re tired and still creative, welcome 🌱
