A Fresh Start

 2020 has been a year of change and staying home.

Making time for things I want to do has ben easier during this topsy turvy time of Covid-19.

My Husband is Shielding and that means we are at home most if not all of the time since March.

Getting in a new routine and finding ways to get the things we needed took priority as I hunted the internet for groceries. Delivery slots were like gold and many times there were none. Somehow we were missed off the list to get a protected delivery slot until June 22nd, better late than never.

Now I have things in place I started to make time for my hobbies. For me that is Knitting, Crochet, Bullet Journal, Writing and Cooking.

I am a novice when it comes to Crochet and taught myself via YouTube, this means I learnt American terms and translate the English crochet terms into American. I discovered Amigurumi and love it, I may not get the stitch count right 100% of the time but it seems to be fairly forgiving if I miss a stitch or two.

I am between Beginner and Intermediate as far a knitting goes. I experiment with new patterns and love making items for charity, the home and friends.

Cooking has been part of my life from age 11 when I took over things as my Mother was ill. I am a plain cook, I don't do fancy complicated meals. Good simple, tasty  food made with love beats all the fancy stuff. 

I love my Bullet Journal. Creating new pages each month with a theme is fun and I use things I find on the internet, trace things, draw stuff and use images from magazines and stickers to decorate my pages.

I have always loved writing, grammar is not my strong point and I get things wrong but as the writing is for me i am not worried. It is the doing of it that I love. I write prose and poetry and will share some here as the mood takes me.

So that is what you will find here a mix of things that I love to do and hopefully some  of you will find it interesting.
