The sad reality and lor's birthday

Ahhh new year, the smell of fresh starts. The buzz of excitement that anything is possible. It's an electric time people are fresh from their breaks. They have full belly's and new toys to play with. (insert picture of new toy here).

However a whole two weeks into January and the NEW YEAR has a very different feel. You suddenly hit the ground running and run out of steam very quickly. Reality hits home, you wake up and smell the mocha-chino. Or at least that's what happened to me. "I'll start a blog" I said. "I'll keep it up to date" I promised. "I'll knit more and learn more".

Well the first two weeks might not have been perfect trying to fit in blogging, knitting and a 60 hour working week has been hard. However here I am and once again raring to go.

Two little projects I have been working on are going marvellously. I have just finished a huge chunky knit, green circle scarf for my sisters 30th. Lor's birthday is exactly 21 days after christmas and is always so stressfull, the shops are still full of the dregs of sale items and i am always soo broke. This year though no such thing i was prepared begining of december, started over the holidays and had it cheaply and lovingly finished off today by sewing in the loose strands. Secondly I have finished two patches for my granny blanket. But more on the later.

I was wondering how much the rest of the world is pie in the sky, pigs will fly and believe themselves to be wonder woman-esq as in they can take on three thousand different responsibilities and hobbies and have time for them all. Or is it just me?
