Keeping busy!

Hmm.. I haven't blogged for more than a week have I?

Well I haven't done much crafting, in fact I only got into my sewing room yesterday and got things organised and did a bit of sewing! I've been keeping myself busy with different things :) I'm having driving lessons at the moment so I can get my restricted license before my course starts. I rode into town on Monday and went costume material shopping. I should really share what I got that day! I'm finding that if I go out at least once a day to do something I'm less frustrated and happier. If I can keep myself busy this way till February the time will pass much more quickly. I'm volunteering my gardening skills tomorrow and helping organise a fete for Saturday. So the next few weeks are nice and full :) And our birthdays are next week too! I'm working on a wonderful surprise present for Oscar... photos of that soon...

The weather is lovely and warm these days, I'm loving it! I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt on Monday, any hotter and it would have been to hot. We made a beer on the weekend - a stout of our own using dark amber malt, several hops and chocolate roasted malt. Looking forward to that one! The most recent batch we bottled is nice, but needs more ageing to get a proper taste to it. Oscar got a new super duper computer so we've been setting it up and playing Skyrim again! I'm enjoying it but finding the quests a bit boring as I have done them before. But there must be more that I haven't done already, it's such a big world! I'm an Argonian mage who specialises in illusion magic and sneaking. Before my character was a Khajit who used war axes and healing spells, so it's good to try something different.

I don't really have any pictures this week! I will take some photos on Saturday of the fete and what I'm currently knitting and sewing. I'm sure I'll get plenty of time to knit as I man a stall.

Well right then, I'm off to make some fudge and knit the heel or my current sock. I think knitting with a poly thread might help it hold together. I wear my hand knit heels out very quickly!
