Almost There.....

Today I found a list......

I really don't remember writing it.

Or is it that I don't want to .

This time last year I made a New Years Resolution List.

1. No crisps. ( I don't think this one was ever going to work!)

2. No magazines, extra to the subscriptions I already have.

( Epic fail! Not only have I taken out a couple of extra subscriptions

but I have also continued to treat myself to others. Definitely have a problem here!)

 

3. Keep a diary. (Not very impressive....only managed to make it to February)

 

4. Complete the daily Flylady missions. ( Sometimes)

 

5. Remember birthdays. ( Does it count if the card is late?)

 

6. Keep car park change in the car. ( Wow! Something I am doing!!)

 

7. Sort out my hair. (Went to the hairdressers once.....)

 

8. Buy Book Club books only. ( Another one that was never going to happen.)

 

9. See a live band with the kids. ( Does it count if the band isn't famous?)

 

10. Learn to crochet. ( This is a definite yes! Very proud of my work so far.)

 

I think a little more effort in terms of specific goals is required next year.

 

 



Crochet Love Part 2

My obsession continues.......

I have not stopped.....

I am still managing to impress myself (and my family!)

Who would have thought this time last month

that I would be able to make this blanket?

Only problem....

It's too small!

Good job I'm still hooked on crochet.

Crochet Love

Over the last couple of years I have become obsessed with crochet.

I have spent hours gazing longingly at blogs such as

Attic24 and Crochet with Raymond.

But I had no idea how to do it or indeed where to start.

So at the end of June I finally did something about it.....

I signed up for a beginners course at Wibbling Wools in Bury St Edmunds.

Wow! What a great time I had.

Jackie, our teacher, had just the right mix of patience and humour.

And guess what ......

I CAN CROCHET!





When I got home I dug a crochet book

 

 and taught myself how to make a Granny Square.

 

I am sooooo totally HOOKED!

 

Starting Again

I keep wondering why I am so reluctant to write a new post.....

is it because I don't really know how to blog?

am I spending all my computer time gazing longingly at other peoples blogs?

have I forgotten to take new photos?

Well all of the above are excuses I have given myself.

Something I am not short of is time, and I have always got a variety of Works in Progress.

Maybe I fall short as I rarely complete a project!

In the last couple of months I have made one or two promises to myself.

I will complete my WiPs.

I will find out how to do bloggy things.

And on a more personal note, I will loose weight!

My journey starts now.

A little bit of a break

What can I say.....it's been a long time.

Mainly down to this little fellow.

Actually he's growing fast.

Hopefully all the walking will shrink his owner......

but maybe not until after the holiday season!

Holidays Are Coming!

At Last!

Yipee!

No more rushing around in the morning.

No more packed lunches.....it's picnics from now on!

The parent's meetings are over and new schools have been visited.

Ready for a family wedding and a trip to the beach.

Next the caravan needs packing and we are off to France.

I can't wait!

Procrastination!

A word that is plaguing me at the moment! It should really be a swear word.

Productivity.... there's another annoying word.

Why can't I get things done?

What is the secret to motivation ? Is that another of those words?

Answers on a postcard please.
