Or how many ogs, can I get in a title? However today’s post is going to include all of those things. Strange but true!
Over the weekend I did another quick crochet test piece for someone. It was only supposed to take a couple of hours, naturally it took longer, but it is finished. The piece seemed a little strange, however the pattern works so I assume she will be happy. My only problem is that I cannot upload the photographs. I have messaged her, but no reply. I assume that if she really wants them she will contact me.
I have wanted to try some crochet socks for sometime. I normally look around for free patterns. It is unbelievable how many free patterns are out there. However in this instance this is not the case, so I had to bite the bullet and pay. I spent sometime yesterday doing the first section and frogging it and frogging it and frogging it. I think that I have done the first section at least 3 or 4 times. After a while I realised that nowhere on the pattern tells me whether they are using English or American terms. Given where I purchased it I assumed that it would be English terminology, however I am beginning to wonder whether it might in fact be American. I have emailed the company and am awaiting their reply.
I decided that if I am happy for dogs to stay at the gite, then perhaps I should provide a bed for them too. I have been and purchased one today and set it up in the room. I know that it will lead to more washing however I need to find ways to encourage people to stay with me. Perhaps I should become a dedicated pet hotel! Well at least I would like to make it clearer that I am more than happy for well-behaved four-legged guests to stay.
Over the weekend I came across a blog page called blogilates. The woman whose page it is, blogs and does Pilates, I know self-explanatory. I think the combination of the two is interesting and I rather like the title of her page. It really does do what it says on the tin. I shall be following her from now on and maybe I’ll try out some of her ideas. This is not instead of the Pilates class that I already go to, it is something additional.
I have mentioned this before and I know that I am putting it off and building it up unnecessarily in my head. I would like to start vlogging because I would like to reach a wider audience. So if anyone has any ideas, advice or general geeing me on, I’d like to hear it. I will be doing a combination of creativity, and mindfulness. Some vlogs will combine the two, some will be on one thing or the other. I’d be really grateful for support in moving forward.
Until tomorrow…
