Slice of Life - What are you up to today?

[Beth3346]

i feel a little better. still stressed but not as bad.

it's friday so i'm pretty much just working today. i finally ordered some plants but they won't be delivered for a week or so. which is good because we're going to have a cold snap this weekend.

I'm going to be officially moving my bed and computer over to the new house today, which is exciting!! I have to wait for my dad to get home to help me move since my car is far too small to move things. I'm so excited to see my ponies I packed and moved over already! I miss them so much

[BlackCurtains]

My rat cage came yesterday, so I need to put it together, move the table, take the stuff off the wall. I still need to put my bike together too. I'm not sure where I'm going to put it exactly. I'll have a better idea after I move stuff around.

I'm supposed to go to the house either today or tomorrow to get some stuff. My niece and her friends have been packing everything up. I want some pictures and my mom wants some stuff too. There are some large ceramic animals my mom made when I was a kid that I want too, they'd go with my African theme, but I need help getting them up the stairs.

Beldarna, chores are never-ending!!! Hope you get some rest at least xxx
Marshie, hi!!! And how fun moving stuff to a new home & setting it up!!!
Beth I'm glad you're a little better at least xxx
BC: rats are adorable!!! And yep, sorting stuff is one of those things you have to do in that circumstance xxx

In my case, I assembled all the festive knits!!! And piccied them all!!! Right now I'm baking cinnamon rolls & working on the top ribbing of the tail-skirt!!! It's exciting now I'm close to finished!!! I intend a cm or two of ribbing, then a stretchy cast-off to finish!!!
Oh & my sleep MIGHT, I mean MIGHT, have a schedule worth the name!!!

More of the same today. I didn't get the cage together or anything moved, but I did clean up my craft area and put things away. I also vacuumed the living room and kitchen, so that's something. I have so many bait ponies now they won't fit in the bin I won't have to worry about running out any time soon. I haven't worked on anything crafty in a while. I have a commission to do, but thankfully the person is understanding and patient.

I think I'm going to the house today since I didn't yesterday, but I haven't talked to my niece at all.

I made BLTs yesterday finally. I have leftovers.

So my plan today is to do the things I didn't get to yesterday.

Ah the ever-rotating to-do list! 

I have a pile of donations to go to the thrift, I have a giant bin of books to be delivered to Little Libraries, I have so much dusting and vacuuming, I have a shed full of fabric supplies to sort out, and I have to start cleaning up the yard and inventorying the gardening things. 

[BlackCurtains]

Well, I got most of the cage together yesterday. I didn't get to go to the house because my niece was having some plumbing problems at her place. I actually slept a lot yesterday. I guess I needed it.

Today is again, more of the same.

BC: things aren't easy for you at the best of times, which these decidedly aren't for you xxx If you need to go slowly, go slowly, & getting even one thing done is better than nothing xxx
Squirmy I hope you do manage to sort everything out xxx

I finished the tail skirt!!! And used the 4mm hook on some of the aran left over & it worked fine!!! No tension issues!!! So I went down a couple of sizes for my DK & tadaa!!! Again no tension issues!!!. Did a swatch rug in aran, an adult bonnet in DK, & a round rug in aran. I like the fact you can do round crochet!!! When the 3mm hook is free from another project I'm doing I'll do a bunch of baby bonnets (I can even use bigger crochet stitches or just chains & slips to add ear holes!!!). I also want to see if I can crochet a top hat... I like aran for Pony rugs.
Meanwhile I made cinnamon rolls, took loads of lovely pics of Bakana outside, & went to a coffee & kirky (cross between coffee morning & service - kirk is Scottish for church). It was good with it being a Mother's Day service. This is when we have it in the UK.
Got my dishes done yaiy!!! Also made more tortillas (going to need a LOT of flour if I keep going like this)

[Ponybookworm]

Sorted my yarn by size. I have green aran & purple aran. The green pairs nicely with some tinselled white yarn (I crochet that on after) to make rugs for the Festive Cottage, while I think pairing the purple with a spooky green trim will do the Spooky Cabin nicely for rugs!!! Ordered another colour to furnish another Pony building, & have cream I've already made into rugs ready to trim...
I also found a crocheter who is the crochet equivalent of Nimble Needles, & she had a pattern for stuffed hearts. Had to make one for Bakana!!! I added it & some extra fill to her today. Meanwhile more crafting.
Coffee was good & I got some nice treats, but forgot to get my electric topped up!!! Going to have to go again for that...

I didn't mean to bring down the thread. Thanks for your sympathies

Today I'm visiting my mom and later my niece is going to help with my garbage. I have a lot of cardboard again from some big item purchases I made. Literally, stuff that came in huge boxes.

Last night I moved some things around in the living room. Aster is upset about it. I bought another plastic dresser for my crafts and put it beside my desk, so I had to move the hassock to the other end of the desk by the window. Aster would always do her claws on it (it's whicker) and she liked to sit or nap on it while I was in here. She can still do those things! But it's in the wrong place now, so she was complaining.

I still need to move my little table and take the masks off the wall so I can put the cage there.
