Crafting DRY spell?? anyone gone through one???

Nah... don't make yourself do it. You won't enjoy it, after all, isn't that the point of crafting... to relax an enjoy what you are doing? There's nothing wrong with taking a little break from your hobbies. When a hobby becomes a chore, then it's not a hobby anymore. Take the "me" time and when you feel like it, get started on next years gifts. :)
