goodbyes and tidying

Today lovely Dino has left me to stay with his mother for a week and a half in Kosovo. I'll miss him far too much. He'll be pampered all week and will come back so spoiled after not having to lift a finger I won't be able to do anything with him.

I'm looking forward to uninterrupted knitting and organising time. As you can see I'm in dire need of some time to get a little more organised round here....

My studio has been neglected for a while and has got quite messy to the point where my stash has extended on to the landing. So I'm using this weekend for a good old tidy up.

Dino had found two bin bags full of wool down the cellar last week and it all needs sorting. When I opened the bags they were full of odd balls of wool and all my really fancy yarns which had been missing since we moved 18 months ago. I think he'd hidden them on purpose.



I started by colour co-ordinating them in bags but I don't think this is going to work for me as when I knit I like to see what other yarns I have so I can get inspiration for my next project some times I've so many ideas floating around I can disappear for whole weekend which is great when its football season but not so great when I should be spending time with Dino.

My tidy up quickly down spiraled into a 5 hour knitting session where i manages to knit five new cafetiere covers for my etsy shop which if all goes to plan will be open by next week.

I love the storage unit that I got for my last birthday this is where I keep all my cones of yarn just where I can see them.

This evening I have a decadent evening planned of sewing wine and chocolate. The plan is to get all my new items finished enough for washing tomorrow morning as it looks like it's going to be another sunny day.

I also started sorting out my jewellery which hasn't seen the light of day since I did a craft fair a few months ago every thing needs labeling, photographing and measuring.

At least with all the work I've planned i won't have time to miss Dino too much!
