I have been very non crafty recently.

I have started my new role!! Woo hoo it's been a scintillating week of reading and stuff. Haha

I have however today managed to downsize a few items on my craft room. I have refilled my ink pens and have also drawn a mandala. It's a simple affair - black and pink. It's a little smudged - I should have waited longer before running out the ink I think.

It's been a nice relaxed day - and I'm feeling like I've achieved a little something.

I have recognised I NEED to fully sort out the craft room. I was bought a DAB radio for Christmas which hasn't been out of the box as I have no shelf near the plug to put it on. Sooooo I have requested cash or IKEA vouchers for my birthday this month and I will be buying a Kallax shelf set 2x4 cubes. I need the extra storage and this will fit - and hopefully mop up a lot of cluttered bits.

I would love to free up my table to be able to sew easier - without having to bend and break my back on the coffee table.

117 / 500 so far.

I would like in April to commit to:

1. Building the Kallax unit.
2. Clearing the table - into said Kallax
3. Organising all craft books and papers.
4. Getting my DAB radio out and tuning it.
5. Creating a pin board of some description.
6. Finding my compasses.
7. Seeing if I can set up my printer -

I'm loving seeing all the crafts - and I WILL crack on and get some stuff done.

I long for a craft room alas bungalow far to small, everything crammed into 2 huge cupboards and when i open the doors the whole contents fall on top of me. I try to keep tidy but difficult.

I often wonder what sort of person people think I am if they judged me on my pins:rotfl:

6 more instant smoothie hats knitted so my total completed makes for the year so far is 69.

Morning all

Another instant smoothie hat and a dish cloth knitted yesterday and this morning I've been through the bag of ratty and too small Tshirts that dd2 loved but didn't wear anymore so she asked me to make her a throw out of them. I've just ironed them all and cut 96 squares and laid them out into some sort of random pattern. Plan to get them sewn into strips this afternoon as its too wet and miserable to do anything else.

71 completed items so far.

mrs-moneypenny

Morning all
Tshirt squares all sewn together and a throw located to back them onto so plan to finish that this week.
21 instant smoothie hats knitted and sewn together since I last totalled up so I now have 92 completed items.

I've finished my first ever sock on dpns but won't count that till it had a mate to pair with.

Hope everyone is well.
