I love reading Pip Lincolne's blog Meet Me At Mikes. Today she has written a lovely list called Taking Stock and offered a blank list for us to do the same. Here's mine.
Making : At least 8 different quilts at once.
Cooking : Marion Grasby's Thai Chicken Curry in a box (so easy!)
Drinking : Water to try to flush away too much festive indulgence.
Reading : John Taylor's biography, Robert Hoge's biography ("Ugly") and "Gone Girl".
Wanting : More hours in the day.
Looking : At ways to rearrange my sewing room/office.
Playing : Minecraft with my boys on the PS3
Deciding : Whether it will be feasible to open a shop in 2014.
Wishing : For another baby in my life.
Enjoying : Clearing out the clutter and giving it away on Stuff Sharers.
Waiting : To hear from my accountant.
Liking : Quilt Bees! I'm in 3 and enjoying them immensely.
