It has been two weeks since I made a list and as I mentioned, the list did go out the window somewhat!
The list from two weeks was this one:
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. - I have left this until next week as we are having such a cold snap.
- Weed bed outside kitchen window and sow with wildflower mix. - coming along nicely.
Knitting, sewing, crafting
Three hours of hand quilting on Miss Ballerina's quilt.
- Finish back of Shoulder Rolls jumper from November 1933 Stitchcraft.
- Finish baby jersey from April 1934 Stitchcraft.
Knit one night on Girl On Fire shawl.
- Knit one night on Minecraft pickaxe.
Household
- Freezer inventory.
- Clean up clutter corner in our bedroom.
- Make air drying clay for Whirlwind - I'm really disappointed we didn't get to this, but he was so happy doing his loom bands that I let it go.

By the looks of your list Jayne, you have lots to do again this week.
ReplyDeleteI would be very interested to hear how the nettle tea goes, I have heaps of it growing around here.
Those flowers are beautiful. All I have for display at the moment is geraniums :)
Have a lovely week,

Yes, we have heaps of nettles, much to hubby's embarassment! Nettles actually show that your soil is really good, but we live in a very conservative farming area where the chemicals come out straight away. It is pretty stinky to make but full of nutrients for the plants. I use it so I don't have to buy Seasol or similar.
DeleteThat is about all the flowers I have. But I am itching for some warmer weather so I can start off some flower and veggie seeds!
You are quite the whirlwind of activity! I hope you realize how much you get done!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you! It is always our nature to focus on what we didn't get done rather than be happy with what we did achieve. It is all coming along slowly. I must remember that slow and steady gets there in the end!
