Crossword and biscuits from yesterday! Did upload them yesterday but then deleted them by mistake (D'oh) and couldn't get them to re load!! The biscuits went down very well I am glad to say, quite soft and chewy. Nom nom.

Well I haven't done anything creative today but I have been to work and my classroom finally looks like I am ready to go back to work. There are quite a few things I need to do before then though. My presentation is one of them. Eeeek! Not sure where to start with that one but at least i have an idea about what the others are doing so I will get organised and prepare something worth doing!

My new number one rule is going to be Do It NOW! Although i will also continue to make lists because I will have to prioritise jobs as well as I can't do the all NOW!

I am also going to start to use my Franklin properly so that I can get done the things I need to get done!!

One thing that did occur to me yesterday is that if I am going to make things that are small (ie bags and so on) I could look in the many many charity shops around where we live and use and reclaimed fabrics I find there! I suppose I also wonder what I will make and then what I will do with it once I have made it!! If I made enough stuff i could always sell it...school fetes etc? That would give me plenty of time to make things in between times as there are 2 fetes a year (Christmas being the next one...)

Must go and do some things NOW!

So what have I done today?

Baked cookies (yum)

Started a crossword

And shined my sink among other things, also made a frittata (was going to take a picture but ate it first!) also cut down some rather large bushes in the garden...

New beginnings

It is a long time since I posted.

Having looked at and read quite a few 'crafty' blogs lately I feel an urge to make things! I'm not sure what though. There are so many talented and clever people out there that I wonder if I can make stuff as good as theirs? Self-doubt is one of those things that plauges me. And why should I worry about my 'things' being as good as someone else's anyway?? What does it matter? So many of the things I see are easy to make and I know I could make them well. Do I perhaps feel reluctant to start things because I know how bad I am at finishing them? Maybe.

I see that I posted a while back about being a procrastinator...some things never change. I wonder why I put thing off when if I did them straight away it would be so much easier. Work starts again next week and I have to get myself motivated to do the things that need doing, There are so many things I could do...where have I heard that before!?! I am a little anxious about the changing role at work, I guess because it is out of my comfort zone. Again what if I am not good enough. I really feel like I have been in the role for quite a while without it being official. What changes will the 'officialness' make? Accountability is a big one and also visibility perhaps. Time will tell, I hope I do the job well!!
