Unfinished Projects

My goodness I can't believe how long it has been since my last post.  It certainly wasn't intentional, time has certainly been flying by but (there is always a but...) every time I went to the computer to sit down and do a post there was no internet.  This is my third attempt and YES this time I am saving it so I can just press publish if I fail to complete yet again.  We have been hit quite badly with strong winds and rain but thankfully no severe damage.  Our outbuilding lost a window, the whole frame was blown out it has been boarded up as a temporary measure until the weather picks up and it can be repaired properly.  There are areas of the garden that are flooded but the water doesn't stay for long we have a wonderful drainage system that is quite effective.  We feel blessed and very thankful for our cottage and the warmth and shelter it provides. 

There has been a lot of soup these past few weeks, wholesome and nourishing (here comes another but)  but I am a little fed up with it so I intend to have an afternoon cooking up some meals for the freezer.  A chicken curry is on the top of the agenda, along with bolognese sauce.  Much depends on what ingredients  I have available.  I do like to have some meals ready for when I have been to the hospital.  I continue to do well with the increase of medication, although still a little breathless at times.  Medication is reviewed weekly so I have no concerns.  We are very grateful for the wonderful NHS we have here on the Island, I do know it can be a post code lottery at times.  My next ct scan is a week on Monday so I am hoping that a plan of action is forthcoming with regard to the lung nodules.

I have so many projects at the moment that are languishing in a basket unfinished.  I am hoping that if I make a record of them that it will stir me into action and that I will get some finished.  Sounds like a good plan here's hoping it will be effective.

First up is a quilted table runner that I wanted for a gift for Christmas, I would like to get it finished so that it can be used for this year.

The boys coats are unfinished so it would be nice to get them done all ready for Spring.  I love the lining fabric that I used and am happy with the overall effect with the tweed.  I think I may cover some buttons with the lining fabric to see how that looks.  I have got some duffle coat toggles if I don't like the effect.

As a priority there are trousers to alter...

A table runner and a lavender filled heart need to be completed for the lounge.

Finally the only crochet project outstanding is Honeys blanket which has been slow going.  Now that I am feeling so much better I am confident that I will have it finished soon.

Have you lots of projects that are left unfinished?  I am usually pretty good at finishing things off so not usual for me to have so many projects left languishing.

Once again thank you so much for your comments, emails gifts, cards and prayers you have certainly made me feel so much better.   I have been a little slow with my visits and have not always left a comment but I do get around to you all eventually.

See you soon.
