Happy New Year - Here's to 2026

 


Happy New Year Everyone!  Seems my blogger has already had a glitch and has only just decided to upload the post from November - so apologies for that delay ...... Lets hope blogging in '26 proves to be regular and without issues. 



 With summer heat beating down upon us the magpies are turning up with the babies for a daily feed of rolled oats and whatever bugs they can find in the lawn.  I also keep a dish of water in the shade for them and all the other birds that come through our garden.  It also seems our pool pump is not working 100% and we now have to wait till they are back at work to be able to get someone out to fix it.



Chooky held a zoom both New Years Eve and New Years Day - I was able to join in NYE a couple of times during the day and it was decided the Chookshed Challenge would once again be held with Deana once again hosting for us.  With that, I needed to work out what projects I'd like to work on this year so here is my list .......

Gnomes - there will be at least 3 Gnomes knitted: Professor Fungi; Gnombelberry and Gnock. I'm actually wanting these completed by the end of March so these will be worked on regardless of the numbers lol  I have all the yarn ready and sitting in a basket.


Which leads me to the need for a couple of project bags to hold my knitting in.  This below is something along the lines of what I'm  planning ......


Talking of needs ......Miss Lucy has a specific cushion she prefers to sit on when Pete and I are sitting outside.  It's a very old chair cushion that has well and truly seen better days so I'll be making a new cover for it as it will be coming with us when we head off in the van later in the year.


Whilst I'm on the sewing there are these 2 patterns I've been wanting to do for some time now ..... perhaps if they get given a number it might just happen?


For some hand stitching and more knitting these patterns may come into play .....


I'll have more knitting projects to add during the year - especially over Winter which may or may not include some WIPs but it will include socks!    And I also need / want ..... to include another quilt for our bed....... I'm just not sure which one though.  I'm sure that's more than 10 but anyhow, I'll put some numbers beside them and add the list to my sidebar so it's easy for me to find each month.

See you all soon .........
