Well, the deadlines have come and gone, the assignment was submitted and the family holiday has been had and returned from.
And to be honest the blogger in me went a little quiet there, not quite sure what to say for myself as I was shellshocked or battle-weary or some such military thing, suffice to say I was knackered after so much intense study I couldn't quite think what to say beyond 'Phew!!' or what to talk about now there wasn't a next module to plan for.
But having had a week off to recover from the holiday, I'm ready to pick up the keyboard again, if only to remind myself how to type before I return to work next week!
So - now for Life Beyond the OU Basket. (or at least as beyond as one can get while awaiting the final results...)
I have to admit to a fair amount of couch-vegetation, such is the way after most assignments to be honest, so this one was no different.
But slowly, gradually, I am beginning to realise that there is actually still a bit of me left at the end of all this.
With the help of my BFF I am planning my graduation quilt which I've talked about in previous posts, where the two biggest hobbies in my arsenal come together. Not too much about that one just yet, as I think that deserves a post of its own, it's been so long in the thinking...
But it's so exciting to finally feel the mojo returning, to feel that desire to sew and plan and make things. I have to admit there's been a fair amount of trepidation around it all, I'd lost a lot of confidence in my making skills, having lain dormant for quite some time on a lot of crafts (I've suffered a fair few false starts this year, where I have been poised with ideas and then failed to make them happen, then gone off the idea before I even began.
And if I can get the crafting mojo happening, that may help the Weightwatchers mojo, as I will have other things besides food to occupy my hands and thoughts!!
