I'm making a bit of progress with the second cushion cover but my disappointment continues - more things to complain about with the latest kit (thank goodness I did the other one first or I'd have been completely put off) - some of the packs of wool are flat and super thin - no body to them at all so I'm worried that in some spots the cover is going to look patchy (if I have any bits left at the end I may have to work my way through changing out some of the worst patches for whatever I have left at the end. Also two colours were completely missing from the kit - fortunately I had something that would work for both left over from the previous 2 kits so I've been able to keep going - it may end up a game of chicken towards the end as I'm hoping I have enough of each for all its occurrences. I will be more selective in my picking next time and go for ones from the same maker/supplier as the first two and avoid ones by this maker/supplier like the waste of money it is by comparison.
I managed a little gardening on Tuesday - not much but I'm still struggling a bit with my recovery and had already done my walking and had worked for most of a day (my return to work is supposed to be staggered! Ha ha!). I spent my time pulling weeds - a bunch from the ground and then some from in some of the pots when bending down was beginning to strain too much. Some of my pots are at higher levels, so didn't involve any bending.
Looking at doing some online training courses which may put a real damper on my crafting endeavours (there's about 31 modules that are about 2 hours long and 8 modules that are 6 hours long - so a bit of a commitment - I don't have to do all of them, but then part of me thinks if I'm self-funding then I should do as much as I can in the cost - but they're also all in my own time. Trying to think whether to try and timetable it so I commit to a couple of hours maybe twice a week and the rest of the week is mine to do with as I wish).
