I am glad to report I’m on the mend this weekend; thanks for the good wishes. I experienced the meaning of having the wind taken out of your sails. I was flattened. But apart from some coughing and sniffling, I have mostly been restored by many still and slow days last week.
I started packing up my workroom yesterday.
It is hard work; I know why my big de-clutter stopped on its doorstep.
Scary.
I packed one box of yarn and started going through the files. I carried out bags of rubbish and paper for recycling.
Then I got distracted by some Stitch & Purl labels I had been looking for, and spent the rest of the evening sewing labels on little hats and cardis. It was very satisfying, but seriously delayed my bedtime.
My bedtime then got further delayed by me standing in the cold kitchen eating ice cream. I believe it did wonders for my cold, sometimes you just need to defy common sense.
With my husband off to work today, Kaya and I settled down to scooting up and down the garden (him) and knitting (me), finishing a pair of booties from the leftovers of the woolly pants.
This afternoon called for some baking, and, ignoring the mess, making use of the weather which has been dry for two whole days! Yay!
Weekending with Amanda










Glad to know you are on the mend. I hope the packing goes well for you
Thank you, so far so good. Although I always found the packing ok to begin with; and got really, really fed up towards the end!
Ignoring the mess is the best kind of weekend! Yay for feeling better!
I agree with Erin 100%
Big hugs & get well soon

So glad you are feeling better. A mess ignored is at times the best kind. Love your tags – where did you get them?
I get them from an online shop, easy2name, but they are UK based. I’m sure you can find something similar. They mostly do kids’ name tags and such.
Hooray for feeling better! I think ice cream has magical powers and make everything better!
I absolutely agree!
oh yes, ice cream makes anything and everything better! so glad you’re on the mend and being productive. those wee pants are too sweet
Thank you, Amanda, for the inspiration, soaker and longies advice!
This post just makes me want to give you a big hug. Glad you’re feeling better!!
Good luck with the work room. I haven’t tackled that area yet…. xoR
Aw thanks Rachel – it is scary, good I have a deadline!
