Monday 18th May

Petey social distancing outside my hairdresser while we wait to be attended to May 13th

Hope this is a start for a new trend for me and that is to post at least once a week or fortnightly. I wont make any promises that i cant keep. Life just gets busy around me even in Covid-19 lockdown.

What have i been doing since i last posted well lets see....

knitted 3 pairs of baby socks
worked a lot more on the secret test knit which i cant show you
chosen yarn for my next baby project
updated ravelry with most of my books and magazines
pfaffed alot on my Galaxy tablet as i am worried that my Ipad mini3 which is 9 years old now may not be updated any longer so i now have a back up tablet. I normally like to use a tablet and not print out patterns.
been baking breads
making marmalade and paleo tomato sauce
having the house painted
zooming my 2sipknitncrochet group
medical stuff
dog training stuff
house painting stuff
trying to get my Blogger set up correctly for my shop
and so the list go's on

So now, once again, i have decided i need to restructure my days into getting things done.

How long will this good intentions thing will last ...i dont know.

Phew ...now thats out of the way. Lets talk about the knitting.
