First off the needlecase is finished! Friday I finished all the back stitching and Saturday I sewed it up (and put needles in it lol). I still need to do my Duolingo, but food over the two days was pretty good (the red wine not so much!) The drinks both…

It was a bad time pain wise, hence not posting for a couple of weeks! Some days the best I could do was get up and sit in front of the computer, no crafting happened, Duolingo was spotty, although I was still reading and (for the most part) following Slimming…

Day 2 of the 100 days challenge and 4 more rows of knitting done (I would have done more if a) I was up earlier and b) my right shoulder blade wasn’t hurting so much.) It is difficult to see but I am now at 11 inches, only 50 inches…

Yay a good crafting day with 8 (count them folks) 8 rows done on the shawl/blanket! If I can do this more days than not in the next 99 days I will have this finished. Today I was up earlier (hence getting more knitting done) and so I actually had…
