We’ve had school holidays here so I’ve been quiet online but even when I’m not on my computer much, I still check out Instagram and Facebook regularly. I’ve been continuing my Things I Know series slowly so here’s the next collection.

Day 161
Spending a little time on Sunday getting ready for the week makes a huge difference at Crafty HQ. Things like prepping snacks for school lunches, folding and ironing clothes, checking the calendar for the week ahead, and listing jobs that need doing. Not always completely ‘content’ but better than when I do nothing!
If you’re curious how I make my quote posts, I use Canva. Find it here.

Do you forget which hook size you were using for a project when you put it aside for a while? I always do! So why have I never thought if this simple trick before?! Take a photo of the hook and the project. Easy!

Day 166
This crochet blanket needed some interest so I’ve added some rows of granny type sets of three stitches. I was inspired by the Attic24 Cosy Stripe Blanket.

Day 167
New goals are a little scary for me – “what if I can’t do it?” says the little voice inside my head. But without goals I wander aimlessly so I know I need them. Sigh.
Day 168
You don’t need to have dozens of quilting tools to cut projects. You can often use the tools you already have if you know how. Here’s how to use a square ruler to cut triangles.
