Knyttwytch's Crafts and Stuff

Quick needlepoint update

Okay maybe not the best shots in the world! But I hope people can see that I ahve started working on the ighter blue colour, basically I am working on the triangles coming down into the bottom border, I would like to get all the blue (apart from the "splodges" in the centres of the medallions) done by the end of January, then it will be a toss up between finishing the greens off or doing the buttercup/cream colour, either would start pulling it all together so I am not bothered as to which one I do.

I would really like to finish this off in 2015, along with the Winnie the Pooh Calendar I just started (by just started I mean I haven't even got all the boxes for the months stitched yet, still less doing the figures inside lol), hmm as well as this I want to get more knitted sampler squares done AND finish another stitching UFO (Dragon Dreams Element Dragons could be good for that, I have two Dragons left to do and they are NOT huge stitches, the only difficulty could be the blending filament), hmm as well as this I want to read 215 books and clear my CC - a busy year ahead! Maybe I need to start another 101 in 1001 list off!

No get up and go

I don't know why but since getting back from holiday I have no energy to do anything, possibly because last week was all thrown out (instead of getting Toby back from the kennels on the Saturday night we got him back on the Wednesday night (because on the Wednesday we had a new posh wardrobe fitted, with sliding doors and a mirror and everything!)

 

I have had a real gut of my clothes (as has OH - but he still has more than me, how does THAT work lol), I know I need to start planning what to do again but I just can't! (maybe the heat has something to do with it as well, I have felt drained physically as well as mentally), so as this week is STILL not a normal week (actually does anyone really have a normal week?) I think I will use this one as a brain storming and planning week (I was going to go to the craft meeting but didn't even have the energy for that!)

 

I need to sort out books to read, I need to sort out knitting to do, I need to sort out my food, I need to sort out my LIFE! HELP!! Hmm maybe I need another 101 in 1001 list!

Weekly plans

A few things I want to get done in the coming week - some urgent and others not so much.  The really urgent one is making sure that I get my repeat prescription sorted out, I have a weeks worth of tablets left and I will need some more.  Middway through December I will have to ensure that I have another months worth AND a new epi-pen (especially if we do decide to go out for a Chinese meal nom nom nom).  Speaking of Chinese I am going to attempt to cook a Chinese simmered beef dish, very few ingredients and something I can hopefully do as it will not mean standing for too long.

As well as this I want to get more done on my new 101 list and also to start it!  The main point is that I want to list my stash and possibly send some out (I have more than enough and some others might get more use from it), on top of this I need to read two books (well one book certainly, two would be ideal) and fill out a questionnaire before the book club on the 9th of December.  Stitching wise I would like to finish the small Snoopy picture off - so that I have something done and dusted (make me feel better), and I need to get back to tracking my food and filling out my healthy living blog.

A couple of phone calls will need to be made (been trying to get the plumber/gas fitter to sort out our heating since July and I am not happy about it, I wonder if he will be prepared to wait four months for payment?), some filing needs doing and sorting of the blanket box that I use for my clothes.  As well as this I want to get some cleaning done if I can and get to the nurse OR Boots to weigh in.

Hmm what else? Play catch up on blogs and groups and try and get something (anything!) done, I seem to be curled up in pain most of the time and so the best laid plans and all that.  OH will probably be out tomorrow night and I am wondering if I need his help with listing the stash so that could be a job best done another night (just thinking it could be easiest to type it up into wordpad or some such and email it to myself!)

Wedding Anniversary

As you can tell from the title today is my (and naturally other half's!) wedding anniversary, 8 years and counting *grin*, granted we will not be able to celebrate until Sunday (or maybe even the 26th/27th!) but nonetheless a day worth counting.

Other news, hmm let me think, well I need to sort through my stash, I need/want to get back to crafting and have have three books to read!  As well as this I want to get going again on my 101 in 1001 (probably a new one!), I want to shift my weight and I want to get new recipes under the households belt (quite literally LOL), so the rest of this week could be taken up with making plans and as well as this I need to get some post sorted out and sort out my desk as well.

Yippee!!

The cat ornaments are finished - just need to make them up, but that shouldn't take long, so this is an item off my 101 list AND I have started working on another stitching project that is near completion so things are going well!
