Taking stock

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.
Wondering : What our lives would have been like if we'd stayed in England.
Loving : Summer holidays.
Pondering : Designing an applique quilt from scratch.
Considering : Blogger vs Facebook.
Watching : West Wing repeats with my husband, Sons of Anarchy on my own and Big Bang Theory with my boys.
Hoping : For fewer funerals to attend in 2014.
Marvelling : At the sky at night...never gets old.
Needing : To exercise more.
Smelling : The gorgeous roses Mark bought for me yesterday.

Wearing : PJs as far into the day as I can get away with.
Following : Pip Lincolne :-)
Noticing : It's time to dig up one of my veggie garden beds and empty the recycle bin.
Knowing : I should be doing my BAS instead of writing this list
Thinking : about joining a Theatre Company.
Feeling : a bit amazed at how much I love the T20 Big Bash summer league.
Admiring : The staff at my kids' school who are individually and collectively AWESOME.
Sorting : Kids' bedrooms, wardrobes, toys and bookshelves ready for another wonderful year
Buying : school uniforms
Getting : closer to March when I am Queen Bee and have to choose a block for everyone to make for me (yippee!)
Bookmarking : new craft blogs, patterns and pages every day.
Disliking : "Click to Like and we'll donate money" Facebook scams.
Opening : old photo albums and feeling nostalgic.
Giggling : at my dogs who still play like puppies.
Feeling : Content and ready to take on the challenges of a new year.
