This stupid flu bug thing has left me exhausted, I've done a little stitching so week six is now complete.
You won't believe how many times I've ripped this hat back !!
and I'm still not happy with it.
The big deatash has stalled slightly but I'm making some progress...slowly Today I have uncovered a scissor sharpener
and rediscovered an old embroidery book
This is my workroom near the end of last year, today I have been sorting out some shelves, getting rid of yet more books and re-finding one or two treasures.
now looks like this, more to sort out but definitely better.
Followed this up with some fibre prep, Border Leicester cross, as I want to empty as many of the pillowslips of fleece as possible.
I'm now going to pop my feet up and watch some nonsense on catch up tv :-) As it looks like we are no longer heading to the coast for our usual dose of January fresh air, the room sort out will continue, shelf by shelf.
Good question, I have a few targets for 2025 apart from the usual lose weight, get fit, save money etc that everybody seems to come up with every year.
Realistically none of the above will be achieved but I do need to complete a few things. The workroom tidy up being one of them although I have made a start and thrown out a large number of random cables and pieces of obsolete technology, thus freeing up a couple of drawers in my desk.
I have made myself a sort of bingo card where each box relates to a shelf/cupboard etc and I can cross them off once completed.

| book destash in progress |
I do need to spin the contents of the pillowcases stashed in the corner and in the big bag thus making way for the 2024 fleece that still needs to be washed.
Cross stitch projects to be looked at and hopefully one or two finished before starting a new one.
Otherwise its business as usual, a bit of this, a bit of that depending on my mood and as usual I will blog my process.
Unless anyone has any requests? more embroidery, lace, travel etc ??
In the meantime I am still coughing, still knitting
I have a lot to do, wash fleece if we ever get another dry day, spin, knit, sort out and even destash. I'm thinking that maybe if I share what I have and do then you could help me make some decisions as to what to keep.
My craft room is again full to the brim, well maybe not as bad as it has been in the past but still causing me some anxiety. I know that I have too many interests to downscale much but I need to keep it under control.
So, shall I blog a little more than usual about what I'm doing? I think it may be mainly spinning and sorting but who knows what we will come across?
Update, its 6.30 on 1st November, I'm sitting with a cup of coffee staring at the amount of work to be done this month to sort out this room and how difficult its going to be to do it without starting new projects with all the goodies discovered along the way haha.
