Hello March

Today I have exactly 3 weeks before I fly home to spend time with Twinnee whilst she recovers from her back surgery.  I'm so excited, I can't wait.  We have so many things that we'd like to do that we've started a separate board on Pinterest!!  Over the next couple of weeks we'll narrow it down and kind of make a schedule of art stuff we'd like to accomplish.  We'll also be spending time down at mum and dads crafting, playing games and going out for coffee and cake!  We've been slowly gathering supplies for each other and the other day I ordered and received, from Amazon, my dylusions journal like the one they are using on The Documented Life Project.  Twinnee already bought hers so at least I don't have to bring two of those over.  One thing I know for sure that I want to make is a Travel Journal/Album.  I want to keep it as simple as possible so that I don't get bogged down in making the pages pretty.  The pictures and ephemera that I pick up along the way should be enough to tell the story.  I can always add later if need be but I'd really like to have an almost finished project when I come home leaving just the photos to put into the album.

Even though today is the 1st of March we're having a wintery mix of snow and freezing rain and yes you've guessed it - I'm loving it!!  Spring will be here soon enough so until then I'm enjoying the snow!

The other day (Monday) I started my fox.

On Wednesday I went to Michael's and bought the yarn for her clothes.  I bought two balls of the Loops & Threads Snuggly Wuggly and am also using some pink 3ply from Sirdar that I've had for a while.

I really haven't done much but hopefully I'll get some knitting done this week.  My work schedule is kind of all over the place this week but at the moment Thursday is looking like a good knitting day.

I'm still keeping up with my photo-a-day but will admit to taking a few pix on the same day cos I forgot the day before!

My photos this week are another mish mash of stuff.  The buttons are from one of my tins that I'll probably never use!  The scrapbooking stuff is out waiting for me to try out my new stamps and paper.  The little notebooks are just covered mini composition notebooks.  Sophia the First is currently The Bean's favourite princess!  Cadbury's - YUM.  The money is just to get me started!!  And finally this is Prickle - he originally comes from my Grandad's cactus plant and I've had him for about 30 years.

Hope you have a great start to March.  Until next time...
