No crafting as such done in the last couple of days too busy! yesterday I batch cooked chicken, chorizo and bacon sauce to serve with pasta. Today I made 2 banana and apple breads using the friendship starter and also got the breadmaker out to make some cranberry and cinnamon bread (I love this but would eat seriously way too much bread if I had the breadmaker to hand all the time!).
I'm pleased with the fact that I finished some outstanding projects that have been around for a while (tapestry and cross-stitch), but I think that the thing that I'm most pleased with is that I've rediscovered my love of crafting and have been carving out some time to do it - it's doing wonders for my state of mind and being able to relax. There were other small things that I was pleased with - making so many Christmas gifts, starting to learn tunisian crochet, feeling that I know enough to begin to adapt patterns I'm familiar with to create what I need - nothing huge but I see it as the start of a process - can't jump in with complex things until I'm confident to do smaller things. All of these were added bonuses to the major one of relaxation and time to do something I like.
