February is well and truly with us, and I don't know about any of you, but February seems to be my tricky month. I have one poorly boy again, his chest, so please Mr. or Mrs. Weather Person bring on some warmer days, Master Popps is so much better when we have warmer weather. January for me, there is a hint of Christmas floating about, some decorations yet to come down, presents to be taken out of their packaging and played with. Pretty snow to build snowmen and igloos with, husbands in good moods, and wives sometimes ;) Yet February, February has always been my gloomy month, June isn't brilliant either of course because it is Baby Joshua's anniversary, but February, I can't seem to beat the blues.
Hello my name is Mary Popps and I AM A PROCRASTINATER. Shouting to myself there, not you, so hopefully it sinks in with me. And I get bored easily, blah blah. But sometimes I feel so inadequate, some people can craft, blog, bake, play, shop, cook, think, sleep, relax etc and with me, can take me days, sometimes weeks to get things done. I do get the thing that less time blogging and internet surfing would mean more things get done. And I know from experience that when I shut down the computer I get more done, but tis hard for ickle olde me to press the off button on here.
I have a long list of crafty little projects yet to be done.
I am yet to pretty up the little hair slides with my favourite scraps, on the list for maybe 2 months.
Am yet to get the second layer of decoupage on the little red jug, been on the list for 4 weeks.
Getting round to making the heart garlands in time for Valentine's, maybe in time for summer more like.
Do something with these, Mmmm been on the list way longer than I could ever say.
Earmarked to be used for the cushions, been sitting on the shelf for months. One UJ neckerchief.
Master. Poppins' first baby blanket would make the cutest little cushion cover, I know it, but can I get round to doing it, uhhhh no.
Now don't get me onto baking, takes me four days to bakes some cakes with the children.
So I really do need some time management going on, because February really makes me feel like doing nothing at all, and believe me I have mucho to do.
Of course, one thing I am not slow at, is unwrapping delightful giveaways, and it was indeed a delight to win Karen's wonderful yarn giveaway.
Karen kindly popped in a little polka dot for the kitchen project too. I have some very kind thank you's in my next post as again, some sweet fabric has been popping through the letterbox.
Thank you Karen, what beautiful and pretty colours.
So what is a gal to do, if you are a good time manager please let me know how you do it, I am normally so good at organising others, tis myself I have the problem with. If you blog, bake, craft, write, sleep, relax, keep fit, have hobbies, coochy coo with loved ones ;) play with the children, read a story to them every night, and a million other things please tell me how you fit it all in, because I really can't.
I even resorted to cutting my own hair, as I can't seem to drag myself to the hairdresser's, or maybe it is the cost of hairdressing bills these days, who knows.
By the way that is snow in my hair, I was having fun and games with the children in the snow, as for the haircut, not too bad actually, I used the The Ponytail Method Notice how I sneaked the scarf I made in there, a little sneaky peak for you, no close ups ;)
As a thank you for taking your precious time to leave me your lovely tips and advice, I am a gathering together a little VINTAGE VALENTINE'S GIVEAWAY, keep your eyes peeled for my next little post ;0)
Right off to press the off button, or am I, can I do it, can I really....
