Hi everyone,
This has been the week of illness for us in our house. Illness always means procrastination on my part. I'm ok with this as when I try and do to much, I tend to take longer to get better. This is something I think everybody needs to do on occasions by just taking a break from the world. I believe that once in a while you should just curl up on a sofa under a blanket watching some good films. I know that some people will say that there's too much to do, but that's the main problem. Lets all learn to relax like the spaniel!
What am I working on
Currently working on a pair of socks. The pattern is hermione's everyday socks which I am making with lang yarns jawoll degrade. This was a stash diving exercise completely, the yarn I've had in my box for over a year as I bought it at a show in September 2011 and the pattern I had in my queue on raverly for over 8 months. This is a nice easy pattern, to do anywhere. Wouldn't suggest for a complete beginner to sock knitting as on a couple of occasions it assumes you have knowledge on how to do socks. I will do this pattern in the future, when I'm after a simple sock. I did this on my addi lace and doing it magic loop, which s my favourite technique. Photo at the bottom until I can work this blogging thing out.
I did no other projects this week.
Completed projects
No projects this week.
Spaniel news
The spaniel is well, he is focusing on his new life that starts at the end of this week. I have been able to take him to work since he was a pup, this is something I am no longer able to do. I am trying to find ways of doing spaniel cam so that I am able to check up on him at work. I'm trying to set up Skype on my iPad so I can make sure he's ok at home, as he's never spent that this much time alone. He will still get his best friend coming to see him (as I have a dog walker) who he loves to bits especially as she comes with her two dogs who he adores. So he should be fine. He will look great on a video camera, as he's loves the camera.
Other news
I have just bought tickets for craft 4 crafters at westpoint arena in devon, looking forward to it and already know one of the stands I going too. Sara's texture crafts are there and I think I may end up with some new batts appearing in my stash, somehow!
I also have bought some new beads from a new shop I discovered, they are blue goldstone, which I haven't heard about before but I liked them as they are sparkly and that's the best type

31st December - Brand New Blog
This is my brand new blog. This is the place where I will be writing my crafting adventures and also of my spaniel.
A little bit about me, I live in devon, uk. I'm 30 years old, I am an office manager for a wholesale gift company which distributes our goods around the world. I live with my fiancée who we are going to marry in summer 2014. I also live with my 18 month old cocker spaniel who is completely mad on occasions.
When I'm not dealing with the spaniel, I'm trying to craft. I do multiple crafts, knitting, crochet, spinning, make jewellery, make cards etc.
My New Years resolutions:
1. Write on this blog regularly.
2. Organise my craft space so I can use it better.
3. Update my raverly project page.
4. Design a pattern - I have many ideas and don't spend the time to do them.
5. A personal one is to work on the wedding and start the crafting towards it
To end with today here is a picture of the spaniel in a calm state.
