I like to make sure I have everything together for a project before I start work on it, threads and fabric for cross stitch, yarn and the right needles for knitting, though it can take me several days to decide on the perfect pattern for the yarn I've got.

Cardmaking though is more random. I get out a bunch of stuff, start seeing what I can do with it, then spend half my time trying to find essential embellishments.

Just about to start my knitting, hopefully it'll warm me up a bit. So cold!

41 rows on my sleeve, and it did warm me up a bit!
