I found a great way to cross stitch. I just put an episode of Doctor Who on Netflix that I already seen, so I don’t have to look at the screen but I get into the story anyway. I rewatched the Cyberman arc from Series 2 with Ten and Rose and Mickey. Mark Watches website is reviewing them this week and I haven’t seen them in years. Good fun. I do miss Ten.

“Men of Certain Age” had a great winter finale today, it sort of sucks that they are leaving the other half of the season, six more episodes until the summer. The episodes are already shot and everything.

I broke one of my January resolutions today since I couldn’t help myself and went on the internet after 3pm. I really need to stick to this. My goal tomorrow is to finish the syllabi for both my classes, since I’m going to pick up the textbook for my writing class.

Exercise: 40 minute walk
Cross-stitch: all pink today. I finished the ducky’s bow. On to the little bear with a blanket tomorrow.

OH, I do that a lot with crocheting. I will put on a movie or tv show I almost know by heart and then get a lot of crocheting done. And,since I know what is happening just by what I am hearing, I rarely look at the screen. It works much better than just listening to music, for me.

Yeah, that worked very well so for evening cross stitching I will just keep at it. I'm making this quilt baby blanket for my friend who is due in May, so I'm on deadline and it is a big project .

Usually, if I don't have a deadline, I just cross stitch on weekends while listening to music but I need a new routine for this to cross stitch a little every day.

I know how that is with deadlines. Sometimes I make them and sometimes the baby doesn't get the afghan until they are almost 4 months old. LOL But, it worked out ok.

I am having a hard time getting myself to crochet right now. I did so much for Christmas presents that I just don't want to anymore. But, I am making a scarf for a friend and he is actually paying me. So, I really need to get it done. Then, I have several projects that I need to do. I have been promising my husband an earflap hat for several years and never seem to get around to it. lol
