This is last week's list:

Garden and homestead

• Veggie garden - continue weeding and mulching, plant out areas as completed.

• Finish narrower new path in veggie garden. (half way)

• Start seeds and plant snow pea seeds.

• Start new potato patch. 

• Weed bed outside kitchen window and sow with wildflower mix. (half done)

Knitting, sewing, crafting

• Three hours of hand quilting on Miss Ballerina's quilt. 

• Finish back of Shoulder Rolls jumper from November 1933 Stitchcraft. (so close - one, maybe two repeats to go!)

• Finish daffodil tea cosy. 

• Start Girl On Fire shawl.

Yarn for shawl

• Start Minecraft pickaxe.

Household

• Freezer inventory.

• Clean up clutter corner in our bedroom.

• The boys finish school this weekend for a three week winter holiday. So plan some activities for these holidays, allowing for the fact that it will probably be pouring with rain for half of the time!

And for this week's list:

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.

Household

• Freezer inventory.

• Clean up clutter corner in our bedroom.

• Make air drying clay for Whirlwind - he wants to make snowmen.

I am trying to keep the lists a bit shorter for the next three weeks of school holidays. Although the gardening can stay as Whirlwind is so happy to be on holidays so he can help in the garden.
So I really don't know how much I will achieve! 

And look! The first daffodil of the season!
It is only the first month of winter and there is already one very brave daffodil showing its face. Excuse the weeds - there are still some daffodils in the weedy bed outside the kitchen window. And I can't even see this daffodil from the window as it is behind a horrible ugly grass plant that I am hoping to remove. We removed two a while ago and it is difficult! There are two more in this garden bed, so a lot of digging involved!

We watched Paddington today. I loved the Paddington books growing up, but of course they have altered the movie to add extra intrigue and excitement. But what was I looking at the most? The interiors, of course, and the mother's clothing!

Oh my, I love this house! This is what I would do in my house - bright colours, painted murals, lots of china on display, gorgeous.

This isn't from Paddington, but it has the blue and yellow that I love, and I absolutely wish to have a cherry red Aga!
