WIP#52

Hey everyone!

I feel like it's been a lifetime since I last updated you! I’m so tired and burnt out from my job that I barely have any time to cook lunch or enjoy life. I wasn’t able to work on this set as much as I wanted to, but it is what it is.

I already mentioned that this part would be about the kitchen set because creating a full kitchen is a lot of work with all the individual pieces. So, I hope I won’t disappoint you!

I still need to finish two cabinet models and create the swatches for everything. And the wisteria is still making me run in circles—I really want to make some more flowery variations that hang from the ceiling, but it would look silly to add them in the next set since this one already has all the other wisterias.

Sorry if this post sounds a little negative—I’m just feeling a bit discouraged. I hope that once I finally get through my real-life responsibilities, I’ll be able to breathe a little and enjoy creating CC as much as I always do. Hopefully I'll upload this set next Monday!

everything you make is brilliant, but it's not worth overextending yourself. take care of your time, your energy, & your leisure -- we'll be here whenever life settles down for you again

Thank you! I really love doing this, my problem is a client who wants everything NOW and I have to do 2 months worth of work in 2 weeks. I just want to make my cc in peace. :D

Don't worry about the projects here, it can wait. It's more important that you take care of yourself, being burnt out isn't good, I've been there myself 😓. Your mental health is more important than anything else. Take your time and focus on yourself 🩷

Thank you! Yeah, it can be so tiring. Honestly being here and doing this is really helping me feel I'm doing something useful with my free time. It's not a burden for me at all, I just don't want to disappoint anybody. But I'm so grateful for all of you who took their time and commented something nice.

Loving the chunkiness of it all! Take care!

Thank you! I'm so happy you like it. I'm always afraid of things being too thin :DD It just gives too alpha cc look and I'm trying to be more Maxis match.

I totally understand having burnout from work. It sucks! Luckily it doesn't last forever - you just need to go easy on yourself until things calm down. This set is looking awesome, as usual! <3

Yes, hopefully today was the last day when unrealistic deadlines ended and I can work peacefully from now on. Also thank you, I'm glad you like it! I was afraid it wouldn't be enough.

Burnout is no joke. Take care of yourself first. We can wait for your beautiful creations :)

I really hope that today was the last day when I had to work this much and finally clients will realize things can't be done from one day to another.

Take the time you need 🥰 Absolutely no need for you too exhauste yourself on extra work, when work work is being a bitch 😂🙈❤️

VALIA · March 14, 2025

But this doesn't feel like work! I just want to do my hobby in peace not stress about clients and their unrealistic ideas even in my sleep. :D

Quality over quality, love 💙 take all the time you need and dont overwork yourself. Your work is work the wait!

V
VALIA · March 14, 2025

Thank you! I have learned I need to be rational about how many items I'm making for a set so I can actually enjoy making it. This work thing happened really unexpectedly and I had to give 100% to complete it on time.

Oh I feel that burnout. Take your time, your stuff is always great and worth waiting on.

V
VALIA · March 14, 2025

Thank you! You're so nice, I don't deserve it. I knew this could happen when I started making CC, but I’m such a perfectionist, when I face a challenge, I become dead set on overcoming it, and then I’m surprised when I overwork myself.
