Another Quiet Week......

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.

It's been a very quiet week on all counts this week....and the cold seems to be improving although it has really taken it's time to make an exit this time around.
I have spent a few hours in the garden this weekend but you'd never know to look at it....
I have managed to finish another book...

This is book No.11 read towards my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge.....
This is one of the library books I picked up at our community library last week....I really must stop taking books out for a while, well at least until I have made a dent in my 'To Read' pile at home.....
I started another small stitching project......one off my WIP's list for this year....

Little House Needleworks - Little Sheep Virtue no.6 - Simplicity

I'm hoping to get this finished this week all being well but now the weather is 'hopefully' changing I would like to start spending a little more time out in the garden.....easier said than done when you work full-time though......

And finally.....when do you admit that you might have a yarn problem....

'More Happy Mail'

They are beautiful though.....I just need to get knitting.....

Ok so that's it for another weeks round up.....

I will check in again next Sunday....
Until then have a lovely week.
Keep safe....

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

I really do appreciate your visits and lovely, encouraging comments.
Enjoy the rest of your day. 

Knitting Dishcloths....

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.
Goodness....what a blustery week that was!.....

So here is my weekly check in....
This week has seen me having yet another cold......but thankfully things are beginning to improve now....it has meant the weight loss plan has taken a back seat....but I haven't gained or lost any weight so that's not too bad......

And the crafting has been slow.....
I did manage to knit and finish another hat.....which I'm quite thrilled about.

This matches a scarf I picked up in the sale a few weeks ago....
While feeling unwell this week I kept my knitting very simple and resorted to knitting a dishcloth but I think as the colour matches my bathroom rather well I'm going to use it as a flannel....

I bought this lovely book last year from The Whitby Book Shop.....on one of our very many trips to my 'Happy Place'.....Whitby/Sandsend.
I have already started another cloth in a different colour as I seemed to enjoy the relaxing, repetitive pattern while not having to think too much.....
No books read this week as I really couldn't be bothered with reading to be honest.....which is not like me....! So the 10 books read in my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge stands still.....maybe I'll pick a book up next week.....
I did buy more sock yarn though.....
But don't tell anyone.....

Isn't this yarn gorgeous.....
Finally I decided to start another Little Sheep Virtue cross stitch but there isn't anything to share as of yet but it's all ready to go....


So that's it for this week......

I will check in next Sunday....
Until then have a lovely week.
Keep safe....

Busy Doing Nothing....

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.
Once  again there hasn't been a lot of progress on the crafting front this week....and 'NO' weight loss either. 
I really will just have to rectify that over the next week.....
To be fair I have had a week off work....not that that should be an excuse.
And a day out with my parents and niece in Horncastle....plus meal out and a day out with my daughter at Helmswell Cliff Antique Centre....plus lunch out haven't helped the weight loss me thinks. Never mind I will have to be a little more careful next week and get back on track....

Tuesday evening we went to see 'The Stranglers'.....at The Baths Hall in Scunthorpe....
I loved it as usual....nothing like hearing 'Golden Brown' live or live bands for that matter.

I did manage to read another book....

This was from the library in our village....it was ok but I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the books in this series any time soon to be truthful.

This is book No.10 read towards my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge.....

More 'Happy Mail'

(Poor Photo-Sorry...)
Isn't it lovely when your new mug and bullet journal co-ordinate with your lovely new sock yarns.
I did receive another book and yet more sock yarn too this week....
Perfect matches once again.....

This is not intentional....honest!!!
As I had a little spare time......don't tell anyone!!!....

I did manage to watch these two films.....

I have read both of these books and I loved the films too.....that doesn't always happen now does it.
I did do a little sewing and a bit of knitting but nothing I can really share here at the moment.
I have enjoyed my week off work but I don't actually feel that I have done that much.....yes I did have a hot stone massage, my eyebrows attended to and a pedicure and I have spent some lovely days out with my family but I haven't done anything in the house apart from throw the hoover round which is so not like me.....so on that note 'yes' I have had a great week off work......

So there's not a lot  else to share again......

I will check in next Sunday....
Until then have a lovely week.
Keep safe....

Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

Spring Plantings....

Good afternoon everyone.

I hope you are all well.
Not alot has been happening on the crafting front again over the last week....and 'NO' weight loss either. Never mind I will just have to rectify that over the coming week.....
Typically I've now got a week off work and I've missed the lovely weather....looking out of the window now it's raining and we are forecast a storm....'Freya'....no less.
Looking on the bright side it will soften the ground so I can plant this little lot up...

Spring Planting

Green fingered I'm not but I'm giving it a go.....
Mr T has almost completed my kitchen garden for me.....raised the existing beds, new fencing and gates etc....photos of before and after to follow shortly.....so I can try my hand at growing some fruit and vegetables.....this is a long term plan for me as this is one thing I would really like to do when I retire.....only four more years.....'Not that I'm counting you understand'....
I did manage to read another book though....

A very easy read which I didn't enjoy much to be honest.
'Very repetitive and not a lot of plot'.....
But I won't put a book down once I have started it so this is book No.9 read towards my 26 in 2019 Goodreads Challenge.....

Happy Mail This Week

Beautiful Yarn From Sherry Iris

I am saving these beauties for me for when I can knit a pair of socks properly and with some idea of what I am really doing.
They have fabulous names too......
Thoroughly Modern
&
Dowager Countess
From the Downtown Abbey collection......

So there's not much else to share this time around......

I will check in again next Sunday....
Until then have a lovely week.
Keep safe....
