Do you find yourself saying that you can take time to do that thing you would really love to do AFTER you’ve done all the things on your to do list? I’m pretty sure this one isn’t just me. I’ve made good progress over the last few days and am proud to present one finished lion! 🦁 I’ve been quite sporadic with my knitting lately, picking it up as and when I’ve felt like it, but I’m pleased to at last have some progress on Small’s lion to share with you 🦁 Picked up my project bag for the first time in a while and this is what greeted me! I’m struggling a bit at the moment, feeling a bit low and out of sync with everything, so I’ve decided to go back to having a daily affirmation. I use the free version of the @iam.affirmations app which has lots of different ones to choose from. I hope you’re managing to find some time to rest this weekend. I was going to sneak in a couple of rows on Small’s lion while everyone was playing nicely, but I’m sure you can guess how that turned out! 😂 After a few days of unplanned busyness it’s nice to finally be able to sit down and crack on with updating some patterns 🧶 Today I’m celebrating another year around the sun, and as has become a bit of a tradition I’m offer 20% off all my patterns 🥳 Getting out in to nature always helps to boost my mood, even if I have to force myself to do it.
