Crafts and Life

I spent an awful lot of last week NOT getting things done for one reason or another (seasonal depression and pain being the main reasons),  I don't know how other people are finding the weather but I am finding it almost impossible to stitch as the lighting is just not good enough, this is rather annoying as I have an awful lot of stitching to do!

One problem I have found is that I can no longer really wear any socks other than trainer socks (ie not going up the leg at all), this means that the sock I was half way through is now obsolete (need to meet with Alison and discover how to make socklets!), I am finding also that crochet is harder than I thought – I seem to really strangle/over tighten the yarn, I am wondering if using a larger hook size would solve this (answers on a postcard please!).

This week is the book club so making sure I have read the book! this month's is "Ghostwalk" by Rebecca Stott and is based in and around Cambridge so interesting from that point of view before  you even start reading (as we live in a village about 10 miles from the centre of Cambridge), one task I want to do this week (as well as the usual bits of cleaning that I can manage), it to make sure that my otehr blogs are linked to on here – so that's my healthy living blog and the blog that shows the recipes we have done.

I was up reasonably early today and so I am already shattered, today is going to be a planning day only, Dr Tempewytch is hoping to take Thursday and Friday off so they will both be relaxing days (well Thursday we may get some laundry done), the weather is supposed to get all Wintery again so that is not going to be the best for me – ah well!
