Today has been… eh. The broadband at the office was at a super-crawl on the upload, which meant that my ability to work was severely hampered. It started picking up towards the end of the work day, but yanno, time lost. It will hopefully be better tomorrow, but we’ll see when tomorrow comes. I’ve not done much crafting yet, but… Read more »

Or something, heh. I’ve not done as many things as I meant to do today, but I’ve done some… some is better than none. I also made myself contact the seller that I hadn’t gotten all my bits from. I hate having to do that, and more so because they got something wrong in my last order and I’m all… Read more »

Mandatory Adulting

This week is chock-a-block, starting with today and continuing on pretty much all week. I was in the office today, which was… eh. Too many people in on a Monday, but it was less for being in the office, and more for being in the town centre. We had to go see our mortgage advisor to sign paperwork for our… Read more »

Again and Again

I’ve finished the knitting of the hat, but I keep cacking up the sewing slightly. It’s not the end of the world because it’s not like it takes that long, but it’s still annoying. It also doesn’t help that I ‘have’ to do it top to bottom to get it to line up right and make the top look properly… Read more »

First thing this morning, I finished the last few stray ends of my blanket. I realised I was almost done when I went to bed, but opted to… well, go to bed. It’s currently tucked up in the chair on Z’s side of the bed, waiting for when it’s actually needed. And of course, since I’m supposed to be doing… Read more »

The Flip Side

I decided I was going to try to focus my efforts on getting the blanket finished. It takes up a lot of space in my crafting area, so getting it done and moved off would be a Good Thing™®. It’s pleasant to look upon and I was starting to get a good pace before we hit dinnertime. Hopefully I can… Read more »

Dat Sass

Cats being cute is always camera fodder. Cat glaring at me because I dare bother her even from across the room? Even better. *laughs* She held that pose for a long slow count of ten before shifting; I guess I am a chagrined servant of the furry overlord, ha ha. I guess I wasn’t paying her enough attention, as I… Read more »

Z took my booking form for the school fete in today. The cost per exhibitor is £10, plus a raffle prize. He suggested I make something, so I’m going to whip up a cat hat to donate. So that’s another project on the needles. I also have an increasingly full shopping basket on eBay, as I definitely need more beads…. Read more »

Making a Start

I made myself sit down and get started on weaving in the ends. I’m going to be at it for some time, but it always goes more quickly than I think it’s going to once I get a start. Of course, it would help if I don’t lose my needle… Today has been a balance between bits of self-care, and… Read more »

And Rest

As of today, all of the squares are joined! Woo! Now, there’s only… weaving in hundreds of ends… doing a border… possibly sewing a back on… oh okay, there’s a lot of work left, but it still feels good to be ‘done’ for the moment. I might start weaving in some of the ends tonight, but there’s an equally strong… Read more »
