Increased Productivity At Home

This weekend, productivity on the home front has increased, which is very encouraging.  Removing all of the things from the spare room really gave me a boost and I started to look around the room at the small piles of sewing  jobs that needed attending to.

There were a couple of cheap scarves that I'd bought from Poundland, whose ends I wanted to stitch together to make infinity scarves, so now that I could reach the plug to switch on the sewing machine, I did these. There were also a couple of small hand sewing repairs to make to a couple of  items of clothing too, which got done and the said items finally got put back in the wardrobe.

I also managed to cut up a few old pairs of leggings to make another big ball of black jersey yarn to knit my fabric scrap rug with.  There's still a few t-shirts left to cut up, which I'll do another time.

The room is now looking decidedly less cluttered, which makes me want to spend more time in there when I next get the chance.

On Sunday, I finally got around to spending a little bit of time on myself.  My eyebrows were looking ridiculous, so they got re-shaped to help me face a new week. When things get crazy, it's the little jobs like these that get overlooked and it feels so good to finally do them.

On Monday, I was also a bit more productive than usual too.  I woke really early, probably because of the clocks going back and decided to get out of bed and do the ironing.  This made a great start to the day, as it got me ahead on my jobs for the day.

After doing a class at the gym later,  I came home and caught up on a bit of paperwork and some personal finances and then this was followed after lunch, by doing my Weekly Home Blessing. It took a few hours, but it was nice to get the house back into shape before going back to work on Tuesday.

The only job I didn't get around to doing over the weekend was the allotment.  There's still a bit of clearing and weeding left to do, but I'll maybe make time to do a couple of hours there on Thursday, ahead of a planned group clear up of the site on Sunday next.

I hope you've all had a productive weekend too.
