Life Outside the Washing Basket
Software....and stitches..reflecting on life's changes as we go along. It started with my OU journey, but the blog and I have evolved over time, to become something more - right now it's friendship and cross stitch, tomorrow - who knows?

BFF SAL 24 - mousey
All mouse related stitches this week, although we didn't stitch as long because we played nice looking at new patterns, my BFF's blog here will tell you more about that though.

BFF SAL 24 - a slow night
Hubby made me a coffee part way through tonight, and my BFF and I talked about our future retirement plans. So there was a little bit of pink added but nothing else this week. 3 out of the 5 flowers are done so it feels like some progress at least.

BFF SAL 24 - squeaking through
I have to admit I was feeling frustrated this week, didn't feel like I made too much progress, and my BFF is miles ahead. You can judge for yourself.

BFF SAL 24 - all good stuff
A little bit of mouse. A decent bit of flowers. And a little bit of green stems.
Quite happy with that progress this week, approaching the backstitch in 2 or 3 more sessions time. (I think my BFF's going to get there before me)

BFF SAL 24 - owt but the mouse
Putting off the bitty nature of the mouse again. This week there was lots of pink and a bit of green stalks. I am actually quite enjoying this, I promise.

BFF SAL 24 - some brown
Finally got some 842, my original has still eluded me so a new purchase whilst picking up wool for the latest crochet adventure.
The bitty nature makes me feel like I don't see much difference even though there were a lot of stitches added. Ah well.

BFF RAL - oh my back!!
Well... As you will gather from my BFF'S blog, my trusty wool bag and I were off on our travels again.
Once again off to our London offices, in two different parts of the City.
A smaller hotel room this time, the decent light being only on one side of the room, I did start off sat upon the floor. But I think I forget just how old my bones are these days.
There were many attempts at finding a different comfortable spot, eventually settling on the chair. But I'll be honest not a lot of crochet was achieved.
Finished these 4 small granny squares on the night, and another 6 between the train travel there and back. I've yet to decide on the purpose of them besides knowing that I want to make something with those as a focal point. Right now they're just for 'doing', I'll figure the rest out later
