Random and gratuitous shot of a family walk yesterday. Left to right: Daddy, Wellington (black labrador), Teddy, Ruth (step mother), me, Nelson (yellow labrador), Charlotte (sister)
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas/festive period/solstice celebration/handful of days off work. I did intend to touch base here once or twice over the holiday period, but somehow we booked ourselves up rather more thoroughly than I had realised and therefore had virtually no free time.
Anyway, back to the matter in hand. As you may have noticed (ahem), I am a bit of a fan of the list.
And as you also may have noticed, 2011 is going to be just a teeny bit busy for us (baby and a wedding 16 weeks apart, anyone?)
And, as you probably haven't noticed (because I'm only just telling you), there's been an awful lot of sewing/knitting/general making/toddler activities/baking/general stuff that has failed to happen round these parts because I've been too disorganised to get them done in time, or have simply forgotten about them. That something that's been irritating me, even though crafting and hand making is very definitely something I do for fun
I have, naturally, decided that the solution is the mother of all lists. 2011: A year of hand-making. Somewhere between a calendar and a list, it's a rough schedule and list of aims for 2011. This isn't some high pressure thing where I'm going to beat myself up about if I don't achieve every last thing, but I do want to have a little more structure to my hand-making activities this year.
I did actually intend to have my list ready to show you on this post today, but Christmas/New Year has been rather more busy than anticipated and I haven't had a chance to sit down and look at what I want to achieve yet. I'll be sure to let you know as soon as the list is ready to go. Hopefully this will happen when we get home from my father and step mother's tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
So that's the crafting bit taking care of. Now how many lists will I need to make before I'm capable of keeping one toddler entertained while feeding a newborn and surviving on zero sleep come April? (I've heard rumours about newborns that actually sleep occasionally, but I'm not believing it till I see it. My last one definitely didn't. Oh gee).
