In which I am bored and very grumpy...

Where does all the holiday go? I've only really today left, as tomorrow I'm packing and shopping for Cub camp, and then away all weekend with that. I absolutley have to write my TLA assignment today... I was supposed to finished it in June, but with being pregnant and feeling sick, then going to camp with school and the summer holidays it just

Why not use the thought of crafting time as motivation to get the TLA done?

I always break my essays into segments of X words and give myself a treat ... on the really, really, really bad days, it's 15 words then I can have a jelly baby or a chocolate button. It's why my stomach wobbles more than a mountain of jelly...

I didn't... I sat on the sofa watching Born Free and weeping... then I finally got around to the pick up and knit and it took me about 3 hours! Then my mother rang and upset me, so I wept some more. Eventually Zac came home and found me in a soggy heap on the sofa. He made it all better with a lovely bubbly bath and lots of hugs.

Somehow I've convinced myself that I can finish in my 3 free lessons on Monday... but both my student teachers start full time after the holidays and will inevitably need me!

I try to get up early when I have a deadline approaching - I can be very productive at 5am, writing in bed, but that might not be practical at Cub Camp!

At least the pickup and knit is done. I think I'm weird, because I actually quite like it, especially as it usually means I'm nearly done!

I can usually get lots done in a morning too, but knowing I'm away all weekend and up before 7 for the next two days, I needed to be in my bedhole!

The cardigan is half stockingette stitch, and half this crazy moss stitch, which meant picking up and knitting wasn't just loop it around the bars between stitches... Oh and then pick up 24 from the 17 cast off stitches on the neck edge... 24 from 17 just doesn't work!!! I've done quite a few rows on the button band now, but the button holes seem to be tiny! I'll have to find some very small buttons for them!

Ooh dont, I still have marking to do, ugh! That'll be done this evening methinks.... or as much of it as I can.

What did you order from QVC? I'm off on a crafting weekend tomorrow :)

Dawn Bibby set me off, with her new Christmas stamps... The papers were cute too, but I don't often use toppers etc for cards
