End of the weekend!

Well it's the end of the weekend, not that the weekend is different to any other day for me at the moment but I've got my knitting coffee morning first thing. Although lately we don't seem to do much knitting and more just chatting and drinking tea!

I'm still working on the birthday present for my friends little girl only problem is today my lovely child has done nothing but want to climb all over me and every time I pick it up he wants cuddles and won't leave me alone. I don't normally mind but when I'm trying to get something done it's rather frustrating! But my eyes are really sore today so probably wouldn't have got much of it done anyway. I'll just have to spend my day doing it tomorrow instead.

It's so frustrating as I've got so many projects I want to get on and do both knitting and sewing but there's always something that gets in the way. At the moment not having a sewing machine means I can't do many if any of my sewing projects and until I replace my long cable from my interchangeable needles I can't do any of my knitting projects either. Nan has asked me to do new covers for her sofa cushions, she's got cane conservatory sofa and chair so it's two large ones and the two smaller ones for the chair but I'm having to do this as one of my class projects (exam piece) so I can get them done! Should be an interesting project and it'll be one of my bigger ones too.

Moan coming.......................................


I don't know what's wrong with me lately I'm ALWAYS tired but when I go to bed I can't sleep very annoying. It's making my life miserable and I'm shutting myself away more and more, just sitting here I'm thinking about cancelling my morning so I don't have to face people or get up early and tidy before the ladies get here. I'm wondering if I should start taking my pills again, shouldn't have stopped in the first place but when you keep forgetting to take them seems little point in taking them. The doctors put me on anti depressants about 6 months ago now as apparently I was severely depressed, normally I keep this to myself but seems little point in it now. For a while the helped I felt 'lighter' was the only way I could describe it but then I don't know if it was me or the pills but things started to change and I was feeling low again. Anyway I'm no one really wants to hear my life story so I'll leave it at that for today and hope to post tomorrow with pics of the finished present!! Night all x

First Post!!

Well here goes, this is my first blog and I don't have much of an idea what I should write. I'm sure I've got plenty of useless ramblings I could put up but I don't think many people would want to read those! A little bit about me would be a good starting point, I'm a single SAHM to a gorgeous little boy who's going to be 3 end of July it all goes so quickly! I'd love another but got to find myself a decent guy first.....do they exist? I've got a basic knowledge of sewing, knitting and crochet which amongst other more mundane things are the things which stop be from going mad being at home all day.

Well I've done Little Lady's Birthday present all finished and waiting to be wrapped, I'm rather chuffed with it and I've even been told it's something that a couple people would even pay for. I'm working on another one for friends little girl as a birthday present, hope its liked as much as this one!

Never know if my soft furnishing idea doesn't take off then I might start an Etsy account. As no one really knows my soft furnishing idea I suppose I should elaborate a little bit, well I'm taking an evening course on soft furnishings which I'm loving the only problem so far is my sewing machine.......needs a service but I can't afford £80+vat!! Not having a working sewing machine is putting me behind a little bit and I'm working twice as hard in class so I can get all the machine work out the way.

Anyways my idea is turning it into a business need to try and earn some money some how if I can't get work. I'm going to go on as many courses as I can afford or find funding for to broaden my skill base. I was thinking after doing the level two and three for the soft furnishing I might even do the upholstery one, maybe interior design, embroidery is tempting too but think that might be something I can just teach myself at home.

Well I guess for a first post this is probably enough to bore you for now so watch this space :o) x
