A Bit of a Break

Hi All,

Just wanted to let you know, in case you hadn't figured it already from my total lack of blogging recently, that I'm taking a break. See...i totally suck at this whole house wife thing, cooking, cleaning...its all a bit of a struggle for me. But i decided i better start "learning" how to do it while i only have one bub & an apartment to look after otherwise before i know it ill have 5 kids running around in a messy house eating out of cans!

Ive started a goals book. At the end of it Ive written down all the goals i want to achieve & all the things i want to be doing on a regular basis by the end of the year. The goals include house, cooking, fitness & personal goals. I started at the beginning of the year with just a couple of easy goals, stuff like going to bed by 10:30 instead of 12, not compulsively eating after dinner, loading the dishwasher every night & adding a new recipe to my personal recipe book. Every week i add a new goal to to the list so that i can gradually build up the amount of things I'm doing while working them into my daily routine.

So far its going really well, but its not leaving lots of time to muck about online, so there have been sacrifices! I will still update every now & then & of course i will try to keep visiting my fave blogs!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mel :D

Foliage 4 Me :)

I finally completed a Foliage beanie successfully & i LOVE it!!! It took 3 attempts to get it right, mainly due to my laziness, not using life lines or doing a gauge, but I'm so happy with the result. now if only it was cold enough to wear it! Ive actually made another two since, one i didn't like & frogged (it was in a multicoloured yarn & looked crap). The other one i made for my mum to give to my auntie. Ive got to do another one for my mum cause she loved it so much. Anyway, here are some pics: I used some yarn i got from lincraft ages ago called heather, its just acrylic fluffy stuff but it worked really well. love it love it love it!!!!!
