Nothing much has changed, the weather is still dismal and grey.\u00a0 Sad to say but I still haven\u2019t finished my lovely big crocheted throw.\u00a0 Nearly there, 180 rows done, just the edging to do.\u00a0 Getting quite excited now the end is in sight.\u00a0 It has been quite nice spending a little time each evening on the sofa in front of the TV with my ever-growing blanket keeping me warm.\u00a0 Spent the day out with my son and 10 other 14 year olds over the weekend paint balling.\u00a0 Well they were paintballing, I sat in the car and crocheted, jumped out into the rain, fed them, sent them off again, jumped back in the car, crochet and repeat.\u00a0 They all had a brilliant time and were exhausted by 4 o\u2019clock.\u00a0 I had a marvellous time being able to crochet without feeling guilty that I wasn\u2019t doing housework\/ironing\/vacuuming etc etc.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have however also been working on a couple of my many UFOs.\u00a0 Just a few\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Having finished this lovely little piece, I have rediscovered my love of handwork, I started this stumpwork piece in a class with Kathy Laurel Sage about 18 months ago and I completed it last week. Just waiting for a frame now.\u00a0 And of course, I\u2019ll have to find a home for it.\u00a0 It has reminded me how much I enjoy cross stitch and embroidery<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 And goldwork\u2026 and tapestry\u2026 and jewellery making in its various guises.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve joined a monthly group<\/a> starting next month here at Tudor Rose Patchwork with our new tutor Sue Stallard and I\u2019m very excited about the projects we\u2019ll be doing in class.\u00a0 The samples for each class are lovely and I\u2019ve had a wonderful day ordering in the beads<\/a> and crystals we\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

The shipment of Czech delicas arrived on Thursday.\u00a0 Huge amount of work involved getting them ready for you all but actually thrilled about new projects that are ahead of us.\u00a0 Not to mention a couple of UFOs too\u2026 along with a bracelet and a necklace that need attention.<\/p>\n

Help! \u00a0There\u2019s just too much to do and not enough time.\u00a0 Maybe if I didn\u2019t sleep, eat, work or have to do anything with the children.\u00a0 And I keep finding more to do.\u00a0 I belong to a couple of Facebook groups and every day there\u2019s a new pattern I\u2019d like to make or new products I\u2019d like to try. \u00a0A good job I don\u2019t belong to any other social media. \u00a0It\u2019s just madness. \u00a0How do you decide which project, piece you\u2019re going to work on next?\u00a0 Do you try and finish something a section a week whilst working on several others at the same time or just wing it, work on what you feel like that day?<\/p>\n
