Like many resources, time is finite. We can’t make more of it, we can only use it better and not waste it.
And so, as Mr Snail disappeared off down the road yesterday afternoon, on his way to new adventures in Reading…
Bye-bye Mr Snail
…I began to wonder what I was going to do with my week-day evenings for the next six months.
I know that it’s all too easy to feel sad about being alone and I don’t want to focus on the negative aspects of this time, so I have decided to make a list of all the things that I want to achieve… and we’ll see in March whether I have done any of them!
Well, to start off with, there are a few pressing activities that I need to complete:
-
I’ve made a few more squares
Finish Mr Snail’s birthday slippers (late already, although the yarn only arrived last Friday and his birthday was on Saturday… more on this exciting yarn in a future post)
- Create lovely things for the Contented Crafter to add to her danglers (keep forgetting about this, but at least I have now decided what to make her)… it really does make sense if you are in the know, just ask Narf over at Serendipity Farm
- Make another few squares for our fund-raising blankets, as there was a call put out for more just the other day (fortunately this is easy and I have already made a small pile of them)
And then there’s some of the on-going projects to continue with:
- Continue to work on my sofa covers (this is a HUGE project)
- Work on my tapestry cushion cover
- Make more items to sell
- Finish writing up the roosting pouch pattern (nearly done) and then test it
Plus I want to make a start on the Bavarian Crochet blanket that I bought yarn for at Wonderwool.
And that’s just the crafty things… there’s also gardening to continue with and lovely activities like choosing and ordering seeds. Plus, I need to make (yet) more soup for the freezer (there are STILL courgettes to be processed), and get on with apple processing (I’m coming over soon, Perkin!)
I find that it helps to write things down like this – it feels like I’ve made a commitment to each project… which is exactly why you don’t see ‘paint the hallway’, ‘shampoo the carpets’ and ‘tidy up’ on my lists!
So, I’ve taken over the sofa with yarn and Mr Snail will just have to squeeze in next to it at the weekends!
Heaps of yarny goodness
