Glad you're getting the benefit of your knee replacement, rosie.

I've been working on these blankets but I'm not getting them done as quickly as I'd hoped I have all of the yarn for the rainbow blankets now but not the yarn for my baby blanket, I'll get that at a later date and that's it for yarn buying until I've completed 14 projects O_O

I really like that fish!

I can add another 2 items to my count, so now standing at 66/200. Bought some really heavy curtains to go in my sitting room sometime back, they needed turning up but at the time to lazy to do the job. Having rediscovered them spent the last few days altering them to fit. They are huge and took ages to hem lining and outer curtain. A job well done so i will cheat if i may and count as 2 items.
I lurk on here at the mo as t is so quiet, hope everyone is well.

I hate altering curtains, rosie; definitely count as 2! I did discover a sort of a cheat to avoid all that faffing around at the hems - do the alteration at the top, ie move the header tape! It works a treat!

Heck what a great idea, i could have saved myself hours of work. My hands and shoulders still ache from sewing and hanging the curtains back up. They will be coming down again in a week or too as Hubby told me yesterday he wants to decorate the whole bungalow. :mad::mad::mad:

So I managed to make more Filofax paper. Still not made a new Filofax yet. The equivalent of 4 pads if bought.

I'm adding 10 to my total for things disposed of too.

As well as two bottles of sloe gin produced. - they've even been emptied since bottling. Very productive. Haha

16 altogether.

191 / 500.

So my plans for the rest of the month -

1. Set up printer. - still not tried. Haha

2. Blue chambray skirt.

3. Filofax

4. Take apart pallet.

5. Shoe rack.

your list is always so varied, nimbo.

I'm in a rut. Should improve now that school's are back and I have a routine again (I take my DGS to school and collect him later).

I try - but have been in a crafting dry spot recently. Work gets in the way. Haha.

And hooking up that printer has been on my list for ages. I will try it. It'll probably only take 10 minutes or so.

Have a nice day.

And I fell off the stashbusting wagon big time last week! Spent a fortune on hunkydory supplies in their sale and also on some fabric remnants. I was in that kind of mood - just not in the mood for doing anything with anything.
