Not too bad (but not very good) this week. I am quite pleased with there being any progress at all as it has been more hectic than usual with the boys home. I am definitely finding since they stopped homeschooling that they need constant entertainment or I hear the dreaded B word! They just don't seem to be content to just be anymore. It can get quite frustrating!
Garden and homestead
Garden and homestead
Veggie garden - continue weeding and mulching, plant out areas as completed.
- Finish narrower new path in veggie garden.
- Start seeds and plant snow pea seeds.
Start new potato patch- all ready to go in about 6 weeks or so. I will top it up with another bale of straw before planting.
Just a pretty boring pile of straw and manure! |
Set potatoes to chit.
- Weed bed outside kitchen window and sow with wildflower mix - definitely coming along. I am so happy I removed those grasses - although there is still one more to go in this bed and I discovered another one lurking under a tree!
Knitting, sewing, crafting
Three hours of hand quilting on Miss Ballerina's quilt.
- Finish back of Shoulder Rolls jumper from November 1933 Stitchcraft - I still can't seem to commit to the length I would like! I need to decide so I can start the shaping. I just need to dive in and hope for the best.
- Finish baby jersey from April 1934 Stitchcraft - half way.
Knit one night on Girl On Fire shawl.
Start Minecraft pickaxe.
Household
- Freezer inventory.
- Clean up clutter corner in our bedroom.
- Make air drying clay for Whirlwind - he wants to make snowmen - I need to go to the supermarket tonight to buy the ingredients as I haven't made it there yet!
So for this week, I am going to scale it right back. Hubby is also taking some time off work so my plans tend to go out the window then.
