What about your days? Do you fit in any crafting?
I usually get some crafting in most days, except when I’ve got the blues or am actively sick. I’m healing from meningitis last year and so that’s my inactive sickness. Anyways, just wanted to let you know I love reading your blog, usually through Google’s Reader. I hope you have a grand time when you get to read this comment. Jen
Thank you Jen! Its always nice to hear from readers – I know they’re out there but they don’t say much sometimes! I’m glad you enjoy my blog and sorry to hear about your meningitis. Hope you are all better soon!
Our days are pretty much the same just exchange sewing for gardening or home deco or fantasizing about them. And crochet for knitting. Oh and ironing for not ironing 🙂
Happy holidays
{giggles} Maybe I’ll swap ironing for not ironing too… sounds much better!
I, too, am home all day and I admit computer related activities (reading blogs, leaving comments, taking photos, transferring photos, editing photos, writing posts, adding photos, publishing posts, scheduling posts, reading and answering emails and keeping up with Ravelry) take up a lot of my day. With my new iPad it’s even worse because I can use it anywhere, even in the backyard. At least it’s got me reading again, I can borrow ebooks from the local library that I couldn’t read on my Kindle!
I sometimes get some sewing done until the room (on the north east side of the house) gets too cold, then iPad and I are off to the west facing lounge room. But there’s nearly always knitting in front of television in the evenings.
A roast dinner in the slow cooker? I’ll have to look ino that. What a great idea!
I must admit I’m tempted to look into an iPad but with an iphone and a laptop computer I don’t think I can justify it!
The lamb in the slow cooker is one of my favourites! So easy and always so tender and yummy.
