Where to Start???

Housework that needs to be done:
  • Clean bathrooms
  • Put away clean clothes
  • Empty dishwasher
  • Tidy my desk

But instead of doing that.....

I am trying to decide how to prioritise some "fun" stuff....

I have already made a tiny batch of Raspberry Cordial this morning and glued some Styrofoam to start playing with designs for a wedding cake I am making. But I also have strawberries, apricots and more raspberries to turn into jams or other preserves. Additionally I have some seedlings to plant and I would really like to do some baking.

Finally, I have a couple of sewing projects on the go which I would like to make some headway on, a book to put together to commemorate my son's Naming Day and a website to update.

I guess we'll have to see how the day takes shape in amongst child wrangling and managing sleep deprivation.

Bean There...

Housework that needs to be done:
  • Vacuum / mop floors
  • Launder the clothes
  • Strip the beds
  • Tidy my desk

But instead of doing that.....

I am making a bean bag for my niece - this was the only "makeable" item on her wishlist (which largely consisted of every gaming console on the market). Having made one for my daughter a while back I, at least, have a pattern plus I know how to put it together so it shouldn't take to long. It might be a good opportunity to play with the embroidery machine. Yay! !
