Here it is the start of another week and yes, the weather looks like it is finally going to be improving or at least that is the forecast. This past week did go by quickly and it was different as I wasn't working on Pandemic like I was doing over the last few weeks.
This past week I wanted to spend some time just working on a couple of projects so that is what I did. Now to see what this week is going to be like as I would like to continue to move things forward.
Silver Anniversary - here is the project that I picked up and work on this past week as I wanted to see if I could get it moved forward a bit. It has been nice to focus on some with a few more colours for a while and see the progress that I was able to make on this piece.
I am going to be trying to get this project completed soon but I don't think it is going to be out this week as I would like to see if I can focus on something else and make progress on it. It is nice trying to focus on a project for a while and not have all the other projects demanding attention at the same time.
This week I will probably continue to work on some of the small ornaments that I have been working on, but I will pull out one of the other projects that I would like to maybe get completed soon as the main project that gets the attention this week.
Peppermint Pressie - here is a small ornament that I have been working on and have had some fun with. It is nice having these small ornaments that I can pick up and work on when I have those few minutes to sit and work on something.
Having a bunch of small projects that I want to get done this year is helping because it gives me some time to just focus on it

Hedgerow Shawl - this is the knitting project that I have been working on this week and I have finally been able to make some progress on it.
I have been taking pictures of this project each week so that I can show you the progress on this shawl once the pattern has been released to the public. I am going to say that this project has been a challenge for me as I have been doing stitches that I haven't done before. Clue #3 has been released so we are getting closer to having the entire pattern to work on. I am no where close to being caught up as I just finished clue #1 on Saturday. Hopefully I will be able to move this project forward some more this week and maybe get it closer to being caught up.
Other projects - I haven't worked on any other projects enough to have something to show. I have been attempting to learn how to do magic loop knitting but that has been going very slowly so nothing to show for that effort yet.
I hope everyone is finding a bit of time to do something that you enjoy doing each day. It doesn't matter what it is or how long you spend doing it. Just being able to spend some time focusing on taking some time for yourself is important. This coming week I hope to be able to work on a different cross stitch project and we will see how it goes. If I can get some stitching time in I should have at least something to show you next week.
