3 finishes and all different

Image
 What a productive day Ive had today - 3 finishes and all different crafts! Firstly a sock - and this one is a test knit for paperdaisy1 and its in DK weight - great pattern, will be lovely and squishy and warm to wear.  I used Louie and Lola DK sock yarn and Id highly recommend it - its a joy to work with I tested the size small and its my size 71/2-8 foot perfectly Next finished is this small quilt - who else has heaps of scraps or squares or stuff???? I know I do and Im really pleased to make this from those leftovers and to make something useful - Does my scrap basket look much smaller - well no! And finally finished my second diamond art picture - I think its ok - not quite as pretty or cute as the first one I did but its done.  These are a bit tedious to do but you get a great result once its finished and perfect for doing while listening to an audio book!

Our state went from no cases to 6 the next day to snap full on lockdown which at this stage is for 7 days. Lets see if thats all there is (and I certainly hope it is!) And also Ive added another layer of difficulty to this lockdown - Ive torn a ligament in my foot so Im not that mobile but hopefully the strapping will work and I dont progress to a moon boot and crutches.  So for todays fun activities (and yes Ive made a new list of this to do/learn/conquer) I started on the kitchen drawers and will do at least one a day - this is the "junk drawer" which Im sure we all have that now is a pleasure to open Also I pruned the rose bushes (sorry Grandpa I know we are supposed to prune in months starting with "J" but Im not that far off And finally I sorted out my Doterra oils - and I have an excess of a few (dont know how!!!!) so if you are inte
