If 7 days make one weak (!) what can a fortnight do?

Back again!

It's been a funny fortnight - not much to show, but lots going on...

The week before last was a bit scary. My youngest niece had gone to stay with her boyfriend so he could help out while her fractured elbow was healing..... in Boston.... happily enough she's home safe and sound now. She had been at the Marathon, but left before it all happened and was waiting for the lock down to finish at the end of the week so she could race for her plance, but luckily she's unharmed and safe.

The rest of the time has been pretty full on with work in trying to catch up on deadlines that some others have missed! I suppose that's the lot of a freelance really, mega catchup merchant!! Still all done now - phew. Not complaining I must say - with all the uncertainty about other people's livelihoods it would be churlish to winge....

Anyway I still want to carry on with that sorting and finishing that I started last time so here's the plan... I've dug out these kits from different magazines ( you can see how long I've been meaning to finish them by the inclusion of the Christmas card) to finish what I've started. I only wish I could say that these are the lot.. Sadly there's plenty more lurking about the place, but these three will do for a start.

Then there's this little pile of homespun that shouldn't take too long to play with....

 And of course there's always some more of these to finish...

Oh yes and there's this... My neighbour's dad died recently and in clearing the house she found some wool that her mum had stashed away. She's also found her old button box and is giving it all to me...

So, I'm making her a felted bag as a surprise with this wool from the bag she gave me and will use some of her mum's buttons to decorate it as a surprise for when she gets back from her holiday..

There - do you think all that might keep me out of trouble? You never know. Still, now I've shared all that with you l'll have to do it all, won't I?

Of course, if I get stuck for something to do there's always work I suppose. Actually, I'm looking forward to the next lot as (once again) there's some lovely books to write about... Here's the first two of the next batch..

So that's it... I know I've probably missed Handmade Monday for this week, but I'm off for a browse anyway - it's always fun to see what everyone else has been up to! (Aha just squeaked in - hooray!)

Let's see how much I get done before next week, eh?!
