Reporting my progress

Thank you so much for your support on my new venture !! :) I am feeling motivated !!

Here is my progress on cross stitch, crochet and one more new thing :)

Jungle Japes, Height Chart by Durene Jones. I did the tree trunk on the bottom left and few animals on the top.

Here is the close up of the top - monkey, frog and a wild flower. I ran out of threads for these and have ordered yesterday . 

Some colorful crochet in the making .

Harvested spinach from my balcony garden

My mom was here in the month of January. I framed this Humming Bird cross stitch I did last year and gave it to her . This was among the beginning cross stitch projects and I did not quite get the right fabric size . So I was left with more on the top side . I think that is fine .

I made this first printable on Adobe Illustrator. Most of the tags, including button images , are done from the scratch . Now that I need to maintain two websites and other hobbies too, I need to ensure I have time for all . If I just do what I am feeling, then I will be frustrated for not doing the other things I love .

  

I could not get any simple crafty timetable online. This one will contain higher level activities and not specific projects I want to work on. For eg. Planned will have Crochet on Monday, Cross stitch on Tuesday etc. Indulgences is like for me - minimum 15min. of book reading, maximum 15min. of Pinterest. I spend 45 min. on newspaper reading daily :(

This will not conatin any household activities. I maintain that on a free simple iPad app - Jamie's To Do. You can see that app here . There is a lovely story behind it. A developer husband made it as a gift for his wife .

If anyone of you have multiple hobbies and interested in this timetable, I will email you this image file.

My Birthday is falling this month and is a milestone Birthday - 40th :) I am busy energizing the two people at home to do something and they have started obliging :) I already got a lovely gift from my Mom when she was here . Have you seen what crafty things I made on Raj's 40th B'day? If not, then take a look here .

I will tell you more about my B'day plans for myself in next post :D . Right now, I am done with enough words for you to read:)

Thanks for reading and seeing!!
