Mid Feb…
So to keep the momentum going a little – only a few days since I posted so not a lot to say or share but I feel like writing so write I will… Tomorrow I go on my first promise for new year resolutions of courses on things I want to get better at or have a go at or just fancy… Its Rose Pruning with experts from David Austin down at Burford Garden Co oh this place is a haven I adore – I am so excited and also rather nervous THB I am not sure why I am nervous as I have nothing to be nervous about really…

A late new year…
This is the first post of 2024 and its mid feb!!! I have kinda been writing posts in draft for a long long time and they aren’t getting finished or posted… Life is once again topsy turvey at the moment and I just don’t have a rhythm… I have been realising of late that I do so need a rhythm in my life – well it would make my life so much more how I would like it at the moment – there was a time when the thought of routine and same-ness filled me with dread and was nothing that I would wish for… contrary as I am this…

Blogtober 2023 : Day 7
I am not keeping up with blogging every day – I almost feel good that I am not as really I obviously didn’t or couldn’t… I have achieved a lot this week and want to document it so I know that although I didn’t always show up as I should still I did show up for some of it… Mums Umbrella – down and packed away… done Car booked MOT -done Dentist booked – done Things off a shopping list – like loo rolls and foil and the likes… Storage paid – sounds mad but the amount of months I don’t paid and add to the IOU and then have…

Blogtober 2023 :Day 1
Well in all honesty its Day 2 but I have just decided to join in so this will be my Day 1 which I will back publish and then attempt to do a post every day – Ususally September is my month for feeling like starting fresh and all that but some how this september it just didn’t- could be i no longer have school age children and the beginning of september always started with a new school year and all that freshness so a month later this year… So far I have started a daily planner and goals – really I want to start journaling seriously and have been…

Crochet Circles
Its been a long time… – so jump right back in… Its a Janie Crow design she did a blanket and shawl – Magic Circles – I am not sure what I am going to make yet… will it ever be anything – past history would indicate it becomes nothing except circles unfinished – but actually is that so bad if the making of each piece or part is a something for me – I feel I am putting to much pressure to be this thing that people expect or want – so I am just making the circles at the moment – oh don’t get me wrong I have…

March End…
So the end of another month – to be honest Jan seemed so very very slow and now in stark contrast Feb and March have just flown past way way to quickly for my liking… what to do – nothing but go with it and try to learn from it and make the next few months go past at a more likeable pace. I have jumped up over the last few weeks and said hey you get a grip so I have started to think about my garden and tidying it up somewhat (its a real disaster – like the kind of disaster that when people show you their ‘real’…

End Dec ’22
So the round up of 2022 – I sit here pondering what I feel I have achieved and what I have not achieved… it is so easy to just focus on the negative of what we didn’t do – but I am going to follow the positive culture and look at the positives to come out of even some of the disappointing times. I don’t do new year resolutions but I do a kind of wish list of things I hope and want to achieve… goals and dreams – new and re-newed things I have never tried before and things I have started but have gone untouched for such a…

September 2022
As Summer comes to an end and Autumn looms and September usually brings the feeling of new beginnings for me I am beginning to take stock of the year so far and look ahead at what I would like to achieve for next year. I didn’t really join in the Autumn seed sowing in 2021 – I just had way to much over whelm and I had just started a new job (turned out to be 2 new jobs as the 1st didn’t work out!). I didn’t stress I just decided that I didn’t need the pressure and that I would sow seeds in the spring time.

Social Media
I have 3 social media accounts – twitter which I still have an account with but don’t remember the last time I went on it – facebook which I hardly ever go on, I mainly stay on it due to a few family members being on there who live downunder… – I really stopped going on it a few years back as I just found it a kinda rabbit hole and would spend way too much time floating around over there achieving nothing. I stayed on Instagram – I liked it – I have used IG since 2010 when I posted my first picture… I didn’t use it every day…

Pascal Mandarin Duck
I am rather embarrassed to say that I started Pascal as an EdsCAL in 2020 the start of lockdown for Covid19. (He is a Toft original pattern I did change a few of the colours as I didn’t have the same as in the pattern but I did use a 3mm hook and all toft DK yarn). It never really got finished ummmm BUT it is now finished and has gone to its new owner as an 18th Birthday Pressie. I am beginning to think I only finish them if I am giving as pressies – ummm and then they get left to the last minute and touch and go…
