Progress

or maybe lack of it should be more to the point.  Today I felt really tired with a bit of a headache, tonight I should probably try and get more sleep but I seem to get that burst of energy again late at night, staying up way past my bed time. (lol)  Since I felt a bit off colour I was in no mood to do too much craft so things haven't progressed much at all. 
The cauliflower experiment hasn't been going too well.  I planted celery, marigolds and sprinkled egg shells around the plants but unfortunately they are still being eaten.  I think there may be a couple of reasons why I didn't have any success, firstly because I didn't regularly spray the plants, we had quite a bit of rain in the beginning and the spray was always being washed off and I didn't keep applying it.  And secondly it may be because the cauliflower were more established than the celery and so the companion planting wasn't as effective.  I might give the spray one more try and if there is any success I'll be sure to post about it.
My next project was the crochet rug.  When I chose the wool from Spotlight I didn't give a lot of thought into the amounts I would need to make the rug and then consider the cost.  So to keep the cost down and make the rug a bit more affordable, I took the wool back and purchased some from Bendigo Wools.  It just arrived today so I'll be able to start hooking away now:)
And the office/craft room has now been polished!  So this weekend it's ready for me to move in, although I still don't have any furniture just yet but that's ok.



So that's what has been happening this week in my world.  Have you been more productive?

Wishing you a wonderful Friday
