Normally I have a routine, I come home from work, get changed, turn on my computer, decide what we are having for dinner, prep dinner and while that is cooking I sit down and read through the days bloggings. Even this went out of the window this week.
But, I have made progress of sorts, I decided to join the Pink Scarf Project (a link also to the left of my blog) and have since ordered two lots of yarn for two scarves, I figure I will commit to just two at the moment and see how my time goes as it is a year long project.
McKenna is also holding a monthly giveaway - these cute little Octopi! You can see a photo to the right of my blog, she is giving away one every month so I suggest you sign up, they are so adorable!
Poor Mr Postman has been ever so busy this week, and up until today our Street was still 30cm deep with snow with a thick layer of ice underneath, a lethal combination! But he made it here with more acquisitions to my stash ;) hehehe.Along with all this I was the lucky winner of a Travelling Pattern! Once Vickie had completed the pattern it made its way to me - I am the 22nd person to stitch this and it is great to see all the amazing places it has visited so far!
Once I have finished it I will be passing it on to another lucky stitcher so keep your eyes peeled it you are interested ;)Vickie was also so sweet to include a little gift for me, four gorgeous pins, thanks Vickie!
In other news I have decided to join Weight Watchers, last time I did I lost 35lbs so I know it works for me, I have our Summer Holiday and My Brothers wedding this year so that is plenty of motivation. But to just add a little more I have made an agreement with myself that every 7lbs I lose I can treat myself to some new stash, a chart or some fabric etc...any excuse ;) hehehe. So far I have lost 3lbs, a long way to go yet :)
I will post again tomorrow with whatever stitching progress I get done today, other than chores it is all I have planned!
Have a great Sunday everyone!
Good luck with WW, Wow you had a lot of snow, we had about half of that. Love the travelling pattern. Lizzie *Kate deigns are so lovely, I'll be sure to keep my eye out for that.
ReplyDeleteThis was my first time stitching a Lizzie*Kate (I have a few in my stash but not stitched so far) I enjoyed it very much :)
DeleteHave a great week!
I loved your today's post Emma. Full of lovely stuff and emotions.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your decision to enter the pink scarf project. I have had a look over the site and sounds great for me to attend too! There is a plenty of time to decide what to knit or sew. Thanks for the info.

Lovely stash there. Well done on your weight loss already, that's great. I also haven't been getting much done at all except a bit on my YOTA piece. I can't wait to see how everyone is doing next Saturday.
ReplyDeleteThank you, every lb I lose adds up, slowly but surely :)
DeleteI am enjoying the YOTA, it is a nice sense of accomplishment stitching on something which otherwise I know wouldn't have been touched!
Have a great week x
Good luck with WW. .lovely stash!
ReplyDeleteThank you - I am probably going to need it! lol x
DeleteGood luck with WW!! I tried it & find it too time consuming :D SW is more me! Great new stash too! Glad the snow is gone... We had around 20cm & even though it doesn't seem much compare to the North Pole, it was enough to make my life a misery last week! It all gone now, nice to see some colours & the sun shining again :) Have a lovely weekend, Mii x
ReplyDeleteThis time I am doing it online, I want to see if I can without going to the meetings as I always found them a bit of a pain to get to. Yes the rain came and washed all our snow away yesterday, I love snow but even I was getting a bit fed up with it!
DeleteHave a great week! xx
Great stash!
ReplyDeleteI added your name in my giveaway again. :)
That's a great motivation technique! I'm going to try that!

Aww thank you McKenna :)
DeleteIt seemed like a good plan to me too! :D
I think it's the cold! Even people who are not lazy.. become lazy!! LOL Time flies away and looks like we didn't do much.. It's too cold to move!! Takes too long to do anything! hahahaha ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new stash!! and I hope it's warmer over there ;)
hugs&smiles
I think so too, when I get home from work I just want to curl up in a ball and do...nothing! haha :D
DeleteThe rain came yesterday and washed all the snow away, perhaps spring is on its way soon :)
