I have had a busy few days having a sort out, giving the kitchen food cupboards a thorough cleaning and arranging everything back in date order. It is amazing how untidy they get in such a short period of time. I was thrilled that nothing has been wasted and I have been quite good since moving here about rotating and checking the dates on things. The fridge has been given a good going over as well and I have been quite good with using leftovers. My resolve to stop wasting food is still working well and has been good since our move.
I have not been as good with my crafting projects, I seem to be a little hit and miss not achieving very much at all. I have made a start embellishing some napkins. Stamping on a psalm and stitching on a wooden heart shaped button. I want some small gifts ready in the gift cupboard which is looking a little forlorn as it is empty at the moment.
I have had some fun decorating a canvas bag with stamps and Harris Tweed. Just need to stitch it all into place.
I thought it might make a great gift bag.
I have also been working on not one but two crochet projects albeit slowly. I found a granny square languishing at the bottom of the basket, which I intended to make a throw. I am now going to make it into a cushion all ready for the craft room.
Storage is always an issue so I thought I would make some storage baskets. I found a lovely pattern in an old issue of Homemaker issue 41, so a start has been made.
As you can see lots of little projects but not one finish. I am in no rush which is a good job really. My eyes are drawn to the windows and the surrounding beauty. I am always surprised by the differing views, the changing skies and lights that occur during the day making the skyline look so different. I pray that I never tire of my little cottage and its views. Today we have beautiful blue skies and it is only when you go outside you realise just how cold it is, although nothing like the freezing temperatures experienced by some of you. I need to get on, a start needs to made on Hectors quilt whilst the light is good. What are you working on?
See you soon.
