Well, co-hosting ( with Gillian) a bit of hijinkery the day before returning to work tuned out to be the best idea ever ! Forty-nine crafters came along and joined in. We had mini- workshops, yummy food and oodles of door prizes. Much better than sitting at home getting my knickers in a twist.
And then it was back to work and school concert - a week of mammoth proportions that passed in the blink of eye. I now have two weeks holiday and as of yesterday, a new computer !!!!! ( Yes pity the hundreds I spent in a vain attempt to fix the old one) I have so many new patterns queued up, I am going to chain myself to that computer and get it all done. I am so ridiculously excited about that shiny black box I can't tell you.
And I might enjoy a spot of holiday reading as well.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the break, you certainly deserve it.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new computer!!! I am sure it will behanve itself and perform admirably. My book pile is not quite as big as yours but plans are in place.
ReplyDeleteWell done on the Crafty hijinks! You are amazing, takes me forever to write a pattern, I'm working on one today I think I promised I would write about 3 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat stack of books is intriguing. Will you post a list or review?
ReplyDeleteso they kept all the new books to catalogue for your return?!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new shiny box.
and the hijinks. I want craftyhijinks! and a daggy hall.
Scuse me, I'm going to go sulk or have a tantrum or something..... (I do have Glasgow School of Yarn, but I don't have the energy for hijinks, all goes to staying vertical and relatively coherent for 2 days)
I knew it would not take long for you to get your stride back! The kids are so lucky to have you. Enjoy your schools holidays, they too will be gone in a blink of an eye. What a lovely stack of books!
ReplyDeleteI love that they got you back a week short of the holidays!
ReplyDeleteCrafty hijinks looks like it was fun. I hope you and your fellow bloggers had fun and ate lots of cake.
Enjoy the new computer!
Cheers
ENJOY your well earned break.

ReplyDeleteFailing computers are a huge crisis! Several years ago I would have never thought it would have mattered if I didn't have a working computer. :o) Happy Reading and enjoy your break.
ReplyDeleteNice timing! for the hi-jinkery thingy and going back to work a week before hols! enjoy the time off, new computer and your reading......
ReplyDeleteIt looked like so much fun. I had to stop myself from commenting too much on IG as I kinda felt a bit stalker-ish.
ReplyDeleteSo when's the next one?
I had the best time ever. Enormous thanks and hugs to you and Gillian.
