A new start and some progress

It's hard to believe that it's the start of another week as this last week seemed to fly by. The weather was really nice, and we were able to enjoy some balcony time which was nice. Now we are back to cooler weather so that means more time inside and maybe more crafting time, but we will see how things go. I am happy with the progress that I did make last week even if it isn't as much as I would have liked to get done.

Twelve Days of Christmas - here is a project that I pulled out as I wanted to see if I could at least make some progress on it and I did. Instead of working on just one block I decided I was going to work on getting some of the borders of the blocks completed and then see about working on one of the designs. I ended up getting 6 blocks outlined and then started stitching on design. I do have two blocks totally finished so that means that there are still 10 blocks to go so it was a lot of fun to just focus on moving the outlines forward. 

I think this project is going to be staying out for a while as I would like to see how much progress I can make on it. I started this project in December 2017, so I think it's time for it to get some more love. I have four more borders to complete and then the stitching of all, but the 1st and 12th day need to be completed. This week I will see how it goes but it would be nice to start moving this project forward again.
 

Button Box Throw - well this past week I decided that it was time to start another throw with some of the yarn that has been sitting around for a while. I didn't get much progress on it but at least I have been able to at least start another throw. I haven't figured out how large this one is going to be, but I do know that I am going to enjoy working on it especially when it gets onto a circular needle where I can just knit. 

Other projects - I haven't been working on anything else this past week as I was trying to keep a focus on these two projects when I had the time to sit and work on something. This coming week I know that there are some other things that I would like to do so we will see what happens. 

I hope everyone has been enjoying the nicer weather if that is what you are getting. We have taken advantage of it and enjoyed some time sitting outside and seeing how the garden (planter boxes) is growing. Hope everyone has found that bit of time each day to do something that you enjoy doing. This week I hope to be able to find some time to continue to move my cross stitch forward as well as my knitting. If things go well, I hope to have some progress to show you next week. Have a good week and remember taking a bit of time for yourself is important.
