Summary and stuff

The old year is nearly history, so a tiny little summery is due..!

I......knitted and crocheted 11276 meters in 2011
I......wrote 104 letters in 2011
I......read 1 book in 2011
I      lost 7.5 kilos in 2011

I guess in some areas I can do better!

2012 will be even better than 2011, I am sure of it..more updates, more everything...all I am waiting for is for 2012 to actually start and that my stuffy ears from the plane yesterday will open up ASAP..because it took me nearly a week to hear properly last week..

And last but not least....At the end of the old year, I will say a big happy birthday to Christoffer I think he turns 4 this evening and I hope I have spelled his name correct..his mum will have to correct me if I am wrong.

Time for a rather late breakfast and some ear opening exercises!!
Until nest time..take care peeps!

Believe it!

Seriously!!! Believe it...I was 79.4 this morning...and I am almost near 78......78!!!!! I didn't thinkI would do it before Christmas, last year the Christmas eating started early December..and yes I have eaten the Kransekake  that we baked, we had to bake twice cause we ate it alll...hahahhah! Typical!!

But still, I will go to Norway near enough 8 kilos lighter than what i was last time they saw me. I don't know if they will see such a huge difference, as this time I don't feel so different. But honestly...it doesn't matter that much (just a little) because I am still far of my goal. Goal is supposed to be....quite a bit less, let's just leave with that.

Am i obsessed with weight...a little, because if Iam not, I don't manage to lose weight..and being 87 kilos is not what I would like to be again. This time I will get straight back in there when we come home, and today I am going to purchase a new trackbook that will be waiting for me for the new year 2012.

I am very hopeful for 2012, very actually! I have managed to be so focused since August, I am sure I will manage to continue...and also there's some new programme material out and I can try it out. Filling and healthy!! It is really working and I am truly amazed!!!

Well, I better get ready, I will soon be picked up..so I have contace lenses to put in, kids clothes to get ready...brekfast to fix...yes,..see you later!!

Dec.21

I can not believe it's 21st of December today, time has just passed so fast this year, atleast these last few weeks has just flown by.

Today was the last day of school before Christmas, Catriona had been unwell last night but she was fine this morning so she got to school , swapped presents with Emma and got pressies from Miss Douglas too.

It is finally time for bed for Catriona, and I will have an hour or two of peace before the day starts tomorrow again.
Tonight the candles are burning and it's cosy and nice in our livingroom.

May the peace and tidyness last the whole year of 2012!!

tidying

Yep,k another rather large tidy up, this time everything that can be washed will be washed, and all magazines up of the floor...not so easy as I have hundreds of knitting mags. Yikes. But, our washing machine are constantly going, and we are taking the washed stuff the the laundrette to get it all dry. I still have alot of things to do, and I really do not have time to "hang" here on the computer.

Just saying hi, I am still here, but veeeery busy.Guess I should take some pics to show at some point. Oh, here came the mail, better run before Solveig the cat runs away with everything.

Yaaaay!!

I did it! I DID IT....yesterday when I got weighed I was 79.8 kilos, I an under 80 and that was the goal , to be under 80 before Christmas.

AND there's still another week to go before it's actually Christmas..I am VERY happy! Must keep going now! Would be cool to be 79.5 before we head of to Norway. I can not believe that 1.August I weighed 87 kilo, and now 7 of those are gone.

The next thing I am going to do is to work out my goal for the summer.

Oh, there it is...now that was quick. The goal for the summer is to weigh 70 kilos. I will do it! By my 34th birthday I will weigh 70 kilos. I am sure it's doable. Wish me luck!!

Knitalongs

Yes, as so many years before..I have joined knitalongs...and maybe this year I will follow though? You never know, I mighe amaze you (and myself). As well as the saving my pennies per ball of wool I knit, I am going to at all times always knit something for myself. Even going to try to finish the Botanica Medallion,

 What do you say to that??? I supposed that it's not really going to be much of a challenge as I am quite a selfish knitter anyway. I think I have even finished all the Xmas pressies for this year as well..so there. Organised- me? Nah..

At this time, I think I might have joined another knitalong, but I can't remember...whenever I do remember..I will let you know.

I know for a fact I have knitted alot less this year than last year...over 1000 meters less..that is just no good. Hopefully with these knitalongs, I'll keep myself busy. Unless work interrupts me of course.

Anyway, time to finish up..I have about 15 minutes to fasten some loose ends so I willl love you and leave you.Will be back with pictures of the Chrismasscarf I finished a day or two ago.

Thank's for visiting me, and please leave a message so I can thank you for zooming by.
Cheerio

Healthy

As I mentioned earlier, I have been busy using a couple of other blogs for different things, and one of those blogs had to do with health, diet and basically losing weight. My ultimate goal is to be at MY Weight Watchers goal by the time I am 35, and the countdown is on the ticker at the top.

These last few days I have been doing something called Filling and Healthy option, and so far it seems as it is working. This morning, the weight showed 80.2, and the goal has been, and still is:
 to be under 80 before we go to Norway.

It seems I am En Route! I will continue doing the filling and healthy, or grenn highlighted if you'd rather call it that.
This morning I am away to sunny Shettleston, and I will ask the ladies there how they are doing. And of course give them my update. I am rather excited to be honest.

I will give myself time off during Christmas, but will try to take it easy and not eat cakes and chocolate all day long. It's early in the morning, and I guess I need to get ready for the day. Another busy day as usual.

Happy happy happy!

Oh dear

I can not believe thatI have forgotten, or not bothered showing off my shawl....it took me a looooong time to knit, og course had I knitted only the one project it wouldn't have taken this long. Roughly 48 hours of knitting spaced out from 1 January 2010 - Septemer 2011. So here it is, finished and dyed with Kool Aid..purple grapes I think the colour was called.

Yes, sure I should really have pinned it out in the hall or livingroom, but our Solveig-cat looooves the playmats, and if I put them somewhere she could get to, it would be nothing left of them the next morning.
I used  Patons 100% pure wool, 3ply and needles...probably 2.5 mm. Love the result if I  must say so myself !
This shawl is for ME!

Monday

Monday morning, I am home alone...and got absolutely drenched on the way home from school, luckily I had a hat, scarf and selbumittens, so I was not really cold.

Talking about cold, I think I have cought one...I have starting coughing the same way my princess Kamma has been lately...so I guess it's better having a cold now BEFORE Christmas rather than during the celebrations.

The annoying thing is that husband Jon and I were supposed to start exercising tonight, guess I will do it anyway. I want to get on with it I think. I have mentioned it before..but the summer I want to be the P90 Queen. LOL!

Anyway, I do have a ton of housework to do today and it won't get done unless I actually start. So, here goes! Wish me luck people!

At home

It's already Sunday evening, nearly Monday morning to be honest, and I am so happy that I can sit here and be on the net without any difficulties.

Tomorrow, it might be a busy day, must phone school in the morning, they might have their school concert instead of Thursday that was cancelled due to high winds here in Scotland (all schools were closed that day)...so here's hopeing that the concert is on and we get to see Princess and the school singing Christmas carols.

Anyway, it's late..I said i needed to get to bed early, and now it's nearly midnight..so I'd better go.

Take care my friends.

Leap Frog

So, I might as well show my latest project, I finsihed it last week, just in time for the snow.The Leap Frog is a really cute pair of wollies, but I didn't really follow the pattern, just the idea of a cable down the sides.

 I have used Stylecraft Phases and 5.00 mm needle. They are actually a bit too long, typical me. But they have been used alot in just one week. So I guess it has really been worth knitting. Now to just remember to wash in not too hot water..previous woolies shrunk big style..and ended up fitting a baby..! Luckily Princess had outgrown them anyway...!

Now on to continue knitting, trying to finish a Christmas present before Christmas

Let's start

So, since I have decided to get started with some pics I should have showed you AGES ago..but here comes...

My sparealong, or saving along. It's a load of ladies and we are saving a vertain amount per 50g og wool we knit. BUT, I have to do it differently....i don't have alot of money, so for every ball of wool I finish, weather it being a full 100g or a tiny little leftover ball of wool I still put away 1£ in my bottle,.

Yes, bottle..I need to have a moneybank that I can't just take the money out of, so a plastic bottle...it has to be cut open to get any money out...so that is why it suits me.
Here's the picture

Ladies and gentlemen

Yes my dear friends, I am back in here...2011 has been a very slow year here on my blog but I have decided that 2012 will be a different year. I will not just keep this to my crafts, but a bit about everything. You see, throughout this year 'I have used a couple of different blogs, one for weightloss and one for personal stuff.

But to make it all easier for myself, I will put it all in the one blog. Am going to try and separate a big when it comes to different kind of posts and hopefully I will be a bit more eager with pictures too.

I might even start a bit early blowing some life into this part of life.
Take care until next time!
