Sometimes you just have to make a bit of time. It's busy at the mo. I've been busy with students, busy with children and busy getting ready for a much needed break. It's half term next week and we all really need it. The ABO has a couple of extra days off tagged on to his normal off days. We're heading to the North Yorkshire coast for a few days. A change of scene will do us all good I am sure. I'm preparing for poor weather but you never know...
In addition, I'm sorting things, trying to finish stuff off. I've had this in my mind's eye for over a year. My good friend had her second baby at the end of February last year. I'd planned this idea, but then, LittleR became unwell and it slipped away. I bought a gift (for ease) but as I'd made a present for her son the idea didn't go away. So in the next 2 weeks I'm going to applique and stitch her name in a hoop. And then, to go with it, I'll buy some more plastic tat to clutter up my friend's house!
I'm also three balls into the ABO's scarf. We haven't really had a harsh winter (so far - don't want to tempt fate for next week!) so he hasn't needed it, which is lucky. It'll definitely be done for winter 16/17!
I'm joining in with Jennifer (at the final moment...) and her winter project link.
I hope you have a wonderful time on the North Yorkshire coast and that the sun shines on you. Sadly we've just had our half term week, and it flew by as usual. Wishing you a very good week. CJ xx

ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying your half term break this week and you get lots of time to rest and work on your crafty projects. It's wet and grey here in Sheffield today, I hope it's much better where you are :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, the lovely, wild Yorkshire coast - what a lovely thing to do over half term. I hope you had a wonderful time. Getting away in the winter feels so much more necessary - I can totally see why people book those winter sun type holidays. xx
