the year is just flying by, so busy and not enough time.
My solution to that is to try to decluttter my home and live slow. If only I had the time to do that. I make lists, so many lists, every week I make a list of what to do......some things get done, many don't. My mood can change at a drop of a hat.....I can be motivated and going great guns, then something will happen, someone wants something, a thought in my head, I am trying to stop my head self talk, it can really get in the way sometimes.
I can't believe my last post was back in January, oh my hopes for blogging more.....well we can all see how that is going......non existent.
I haven't been to spinning all year, maybe I should leave it until the start of next year, I need a bit more self confidence to go and learn, I put on my list each week to start to teach myself to spin before going to the spinning meetings.....not happening either.
This week started with great motivation.....I read about the Knitters Guild NSW FibreFest in October this year and a Shawl knitalong which is on Facebook and in Ravelry. So I picked my yarn after thinking I would buy more. Why buy more when I have so much, but some of you know how that is.....sometimes not enough of what you need in a particular yarn, colour, weight for a project. Anyway I finally decide I couldn't justify purchasing anymore so I looked in my stash listed on Ravelry and then went searching in the tubs I have all my yarn packed in and found some Hot Socks in black, grey, white and a solid black in Heirloom Argyle sock yarn. So it is on the needles and I am loving it.
As for decluttering, I have nearly got the visitors room sorted with what I already have, my craft room is sort of tidied up (tidied up doesn't mean decluttered), still more to go and then onto the study and get the courage to give away alot of books I have in there, or start reading more......not even time in the day!
I think when I have the whole house decluttered and the gardens going well, that I will be able to settle and enjoy a slow pace of life and be alot calmer and able to do things at the drop of a hat without thinking I can't as I have too much other things to do.
