Works in progress...

I've got a few creative projects going on right now.

Work on the knitted throw continues ....

It has now got one quarter all sewn up, and there are lots and lots of knitted squares waiting to be connected in their rightful place. It's a slow task, but I'm really enjoying it.

For Christmas I was given a Project Life Kit, which is a new ('to me') way of scrapbooking.

I figured that this year will have lots of nice things going on, so it would be good to have a memory of it all as it happens.

I don't think I'll be using it as it's intended, where life is recorded weekly (or even daily). I'm just going to add to it as and when things happen. I've had fun sorting out all the card inserts and making new ones of my own.

Meanwhile, I'm working on a special scrapbook project to celebrate Mr B's retirement. My colleagues in school wanted to make a memory book of the last twenty years, and asked me to collate it all together because I'm the 'crafty' one on the staff.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoy scrapbooking, as it's been a while since I've done it. There was a time when I scrapped everything that moved!!!! It's been lovely delving through my stash again.

I have to find little pockets of time when the man is not around, and I'm keeping it well hidden away.

I've been dabbling in art journaling for a while, and have just discovered a new project I want to join in with. It's called Journal 52 and you follow prompts to create a piece of journaling each week for a year. I'm hoping to doing this every week .... but I'm notorious for starting things and never finishing them, so we'll just have to see how it goes.

Finally, this year I have to create a garden.

We've had the garden landscaped over the winter, and there's lots still to do.

Come spring time we're hoping it will be ready for planting up. I'm really looking forward to this project. I foresee many visits to lovely garden centres coming up over the next few months.
