WOYWW (19 September 2012)

Another week has passed and here we all are showing off our crafting spaces to the world.  After last weeks mega tidy of Studio Calico kits, I rewarded myself with lots of scrapping; I have made 8 LO's over the past week plus got up to date with Shimelle's LSNED album apart from the photos which are somewhere in the post on their way to me.  

And the top of the expedit now all those boxes have gone and have been replaced by cropper hoppers look fantastic.  Just need to order some more so I can then tackle Sarah's Cards and Scrapagogo kits.

Next thought I would tackle my cross stitch stash.  Oh my are there lots of WIPs and plenty of FO waiting to be framed.  Of course you can't sort and not have a play, can you? 

I spent Sunday morning cross stitching and I thoroughly enjoyed it until I ended up in hospital in the afternoon which is where I am still.

Then Monday morning came.  How I forgot what lots of cross stitch does to my carpel tunnel!  When you are in that much pain you can't fasten your trouser button you know you have over done things.  This meant a very painful day but I am happy to say I am on the mend and have learnt my lesson.  Small amounts each day from now on.

This my crafty space today:

Pop on over to Julia to take a look at some other craft workspaces.

This Month I Will.........

1. Kiss and cuddle my little babies at least once every day.
2. Find something to smile about each day.
3. Have a minimum of 30 minutes every day of ME time, no children, no TV, no computer, no telephone, just ME.  As selfish as this may sound, it needs to be done for my own health, both physically & mentally.
4. Go for a walk every day, even if it is only for 5 minutes, I will go outside and walk to clear my head and think about life.
5. Complete 10 LO's, plus the 5 I did not complete in June.  Entering at least 2 into online challenges.
6. Make 3 cards.  Entering at least 1 into online challenges.
7. Complete 15 Granny Squares.
8. Spend an hour each weekend to work on a cross stitch UFO.
9. Do lots and lots of baking
10. Enjoy our long weekend away in Windsor with a 2 day pass to Legoland.
11. Recharge my batteries
12. Buy no new stash???? As with last month not too sure about this one but I have so many things and just need to use some before new collections are released later in the year and I need to go and buy them.  Can't quite see me going the whole month without finding something that I MUST have.  PS  Subscription kits don't count, but no add ons allowed.
13. Continue to work on my new craft space in order to get it completed by September - being realistic here, it will take a few weeks to do and I don't want to rush to get it completed and end up with things I am not happy with.
14. Research and plan lots of fun activities for the summer hols
15. Play and try to use my new toy properly - will tell you more about that later.
16. Leave work where it belongs, at work.  I will not think & stress about work in MY time.
