It rained most of the day today. I suppose it makes a change from snow, but it made the trails at Asylum Lake rather slippery! I did manage to get in a visit to the beaver lodge before the rains (or rather in between the rains). They were out and about in the bit of water open to them. I had the place mostly to myself. It was lovely. I was likely the only one crazy enough to brave the ice and the rain. Once the rain started in again, I went back home.
I feel as though I got quite a bit done today. All the things checked off my list and then some! I did a bit more sorting but find myself struggling. Arrggg!
Example - why do I struggle to get rid of these?
They are adorable, they have lovely colour yarn on them. Do I need them? No. Could I use them for something. Probably. Do I want to keep them? YES!! Did I? No. I put them in the donate box. Shaking my head. I really don't understand the struggle, but I shall keeping plodding onwards.
It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Or maybe not. It depends on which forecast you look at. Lol. If it doesn't rain, I'm doing a quick jaunt down to the beavers' lodge. The trails will likely still be icy, and I've decided that I'm not walking far until it's all cleared up. I just don't find it enjoyable. I'm not 'into' doing x number of steps per day (my walking friend is). I like going to walk around getting a bit of exercise and looking at all the wonderful nature I can see. Seeing the beavers fulfills my need for a bit of nature magic.
I have a bunch of things to do tomorrow. I am hoping to get some boxes of books to the library bookshop for donation tomorrow. They accept donations from 11-1. Fingers crossed I'll make it down there! I need to get them out of the house. Husband is taking the other boxes to the charity shop on Friday. I have a current box that is half full so I'm hoping to fill it with donations before it takes it away. A good goal to have!
Package up those cute bobbins with a french knitting dolly (I'm SURE you've got one somewhere!) or children's knitting needles and donate them to the next charity fundraising sale... then glow in a good deed well done? I did the same with a couple of those circular knitting things, put them in a bag with a pattern book. Someone has bought a cheap Christmas present; I always hope it's someone who can't afford shop prices for presents.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea!
DeleteThose sheep bobbins are very cute! But, well done donating them. Someone will enjoy buying them, I'm sure. We, too, are supposed to get rain tomorrow and we are bracing for more mudslides and debris flows from the burn areas.
ReplyDeleteOh no! Seems to be one thing after another. Hope you are safe
DeleteYou're setting great goals.
ReplyDeleteThose bobbins are so cute! I understand why you might want to keep them. Something I'm trying to do is weigh up how much time a craft project would take and would I rather be doing something else with that time. I've donated some craft projects when I considered that I'd rather be writing or knitting, even though the crafts looked fun and pretty. Would that approach help you?
I think that's the approach I'm going to have to take at some point. There is no way I can do everything I want. Sigh
