I did get warned prior to this little jaunt that I would never achieve all I had planned. Publicly I agreed. Privately I scoffed. “Of course I will. After all, I will be free to spend all this time however I choose.” Ahem. I truly had the best of intentions. I even had a computer file list – way too embarassing to share that now. The trouble with all this time is no routine, and consequently, no sense of urgency. So, not a lot gets done. finished. started. But I am not going to apologize for that, because I know that all too soon I’ll be back into the full swing of our crazy life (which I love!) and all of the busyness and exhaustion that goes with it. In the meantime, here’s a few things we have done:
These are so cool -templates to make a suffolk puff or heart.In the shop now. Easy peasy, excellent school holiday activity!
Just playing with some scraps and beads. Another good kids craft!
Crochet is the new knitting! This is Sues latest project (I’m behind the times. Still knitting). A fun way to while away a cold wintry afternoon.
Oh, and I have been organizing the last 4 years worth of photo’s. Literally thousands. But so lovely to take some time to sift through all those precious memories. So, I am doing stuff. And will try to post more often!

Stitching has taken a back seat to crochet and I have been playing with some new stamps too! I have also made (in the last week) a little felt cupcake zippered purse and matching pencil case and apron to go in an appliqued bag for Oliver’s girlfriend.Bev knocked up a little knitted hot water bottle cover while she was here and I think if I could crochet as fast as she knits I would be able to achieve a lot more! Maybe I should start watching daytime tv so then I could crochet my days away hehehe
