Slow & Sleepy Days

The past couple of days have been very lazy!

Sadly this wasn't a planned bit of time off but instead a necessary break to fight off a horrid cold.

I have been napping on the sofa, binge-watching episodes of Battlestar Galactica, drinking lots of tea, reading some gorgeous books...

... and doing lots of colouring in!

Being ill is never fun and it's always frustrating to have to press "pause" on your To Do list - especially when it's full of fun and crafty projects - but it's hard to stay grumpy when you have sweet kitties keeping you company while you rest :)

Leaning Towers of Felt (C365, day 327)

Last night I pottered about doing a few bits and pieces and then curled up on the sofa to cut up some felt squares:
It's always a bad sign when my craft work ends up covering the sofa simply because there's no room for it on the coffee table - lots of tidying up to do this weekend I think :)

In other news: I can't believe it's August already! Where have all those months gone? I'm thinking a lot at the moment about what I've made and acheived in the past year, as August last year was when I decided to start my 365 project (15th August to be exact) and started to really get stuck into this crafting lark. 18 months ago I was ill and unemployed and a bit depressed about it all and now I make stuff every day and I'm starting to feel really genuinely proud of my craftwork and I'm getting all misty eyed and nostalgic about my first year of "serious" crafting. So much felty goodness! So many photos! So much wittering on about the likes of Etsy and Flickr! And so many cups of tea! Never underestimate the power of a nice cup of tea...
