Crafts and Life

It may not be the best photograph, but this is my first knitting project finished! A simple shawl (a little snug maybe – but as I lose weight it will be better fitting), I am currently working on a stole (about half way through), it is in a thick cotton and will be good for a cool summer night (which we tend to have more of than warm ones at the moment!)

The 2nd photograph shows my birthday gifts, a good friend got me the seeds (and a book about the various types!) and OH got the planter, this coming Saturday we will thin some of these out and use them in a stir fry (they are all Oriental veggies, and we like stir fries so this is a win win situation!)

Hmm what else? Well the rosehip wine is now bottled (and tastes very nice!), I/we need to set off a Rosemary wine and a kit fruit wine (I think it is a peach one but need to double check that!)  OH has a beer kit to start off, so that will be next weekends job I think, hmm this coming week though what do I want to get done? Well the list is as follows:-

1. cleaning (loo, bathroom sink, kitchen sink, stove top)
2. go to crafty afternoon
3. finish stole
4. go to dietician (in the hope of shifting some weight!)
5. get the afore mentioned beer/wine started
6. text J
7. decide on next craft project (a toss up between a tapestry and more knitting! – of course I could always do both)
8. write on my other blog
9. find a new recipe

Now that may not sound much but when you are shattered all the time then trust me it is more than ample!
