I hope everyone has had a great week.
We are back from mum's in which we had a good time, even though my husband was ill for most of the time!
I managed to finish my socks whilst there.
I used up a few odds and end from other projects and in time to start Stephens January socks on Wednesday.
I have also made progress on my desktop vest.
I am nearly at the top of the arm hole.
I also have cut fabric for a dress - I am going to finally make one from Gerties Ultimate dress book!
Since returning I have gone full domestic goddess (!) - I made bread today for the first time for ages, as well as biscuits for Thomas, a poached chicken for later this week and a slow cooked pork joint today that will also do for meals later in thd week. Also, managed to get outside and dug up the last of the potatoes today - and hopefully the weather will be reasonably kind to us and I can get out in the next few days to plant the last of our bulbs.
Anyway, best get on!! I hope you all have a great week and I will see you all next year!
Haha. Love the domestic goddess. Homemade bread is always the best. I treated my kids to some homemade Christmas "biscuits" but now that it's just hubby and I I probably won't bake any more. My stepson gave my husband a watering kit to water pots on our deck and a second set for his tomato "garden". That should be a fun gardening adventure come spring.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a nice time and safe travels home. Sorry to hear your husband was not feeling well. I look forward to seeing the new dress.
ReplyDeleteThe socks look great. I’m glad you had a good Christmas with your mum, did your husband have the nasty flu that’s sweeping the country? Hope he is feeling better now. You may think you’ve dug up all your spuds but I assure you…some sneaky spud will have been missed and start growing. There’s always one that got away, I find. 😂

DeleteI am glad you enjoyed your visit. Sorry to hear your husband didn't feel well. Hopefully he is on the mend and no one else gets his yucks. You have truly gone domestic. Homemade bread is the best. I made 'biscuits' (snickerdoodles) for our Christmas celebration. Have a wonderful New Year.
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to see your new dress!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your husband feeling ill. Hope he recovers quickly and you can avoid getting sick. There’s so much going around right now. Homemade bread is the best! You’ve got me thinking about homemade bread and soup/stew for dinners as we’re about to get hit with some really cold weather. Bread always makes the house smell great. -Jen @ Carolina Tales
