I found a lot of extra time to work on my projects this past week.  Crocheting is my go-to project when I just want to sit on the couch for a while.  I can still listen to the television and look up just in time to catch anything interesting.  Of course, I still have to wait until the kids go to bed before I start.
My husband and I were also very fortunate to have a new babysitter at our house for a few “training” hours on Saturday.  The sitter comes to our house and is 100% in charge of the kids, while my husband I do other tasks.  We are available if they need anything or have questions, but generally we are hands off and the kids even forget we are there.  So that allowed me to spend 2 hours on my sewing that I may not been able to otherwise.

Week 1 (October 22-24, 2013)


No reason a week needs to start on a Sunday, right?

Here is this week’s breakdown:

Tuesday               1 hour crocheting (No pattern, Christmas Present #1)
Wednesday        30 minutes crocheting (No pattern, Christmas Present #1)
Thursday             1.25 hours cutting fabric and lining (Cape, BurdaStyle 08/2013 #122)

I am purposefully being vague about what I am crocheting.   I promise to take pictures and post them once I know the gift has been opened by the lucky recipient.

Also, this week has been feeling less chaotic, so I was able to find more than just 20 minutes each of the days to work on my projects!
