WOW! It has been a long time since I dropped here. So much resolutions

I’ve started a new summer crochet project. A lovely ripple throw using the softest 8ply cotton from Bendigo Woolen Mills.

2013 – Resolutions!

My first post for 2013.

I have some resolutions for this year, but it is yet to be seen if I’ll keep any of them. I’ve never really been one to make too many resolutions, but feel this could be the way to go this year.

Write more blog posts.

Do more patchwork: both machine and handwork.

Continue to crochet.

Make more knitted / crocheted item for charity.

Read more.

Be more organised. (probably the most important one)

More activities with my children.

Spend less time on the internet – this is a hard one.

Sell my home, and look for somewhere else to live. A hard one, but something that has to be done. One reason to get more organised.

And the usual, eat more healthy, exercise more, etc etc…….

So here goes. Wish me luck! Thinking I’m might need it.

So far I’ve sorted through my knitting and crochet stash. I have a couple of tubs of wool to donate, and lots of needles also. So this is a start.

My sewing room is fairly well organised and set up ready to sew. 

Just need to have a huge sort out of paperwork (my pet hate grrrrr), get that area of my life more organised and I’ll be ready to sew, knit, crochet and read!

 

Sewing

Spent a bit of time sewing today. Feels good to be back in the sewing room. It has been a long time since I’ve sat at the machine and sewn anything.
Today I put together some blocks left over from another quilt – made quite a few years ago – with some blocks I received through a swap from a while back. I added some borders. Now it is waiting to be quilted.

Sunday

Sunday in my home is usually my day to do some baking.

Stocking up the freezer with bread, cookies, cupcakes and other goodies.

Ready for the week ahead.

Today is just that.

A loaf of bread and a tray of rolls waiting for the oven.

A pot of soup on the stove

And this afternoon a double batch of choc chip cookies. Yum!
