"THE LIST"
My list is getting a bit smaller I am pleased to say:
decorate the powder room - that is totally doable, so I see no problem doing that (will be starting on that on Tuesday) DONE
decorate the master bedroom - that is iffy, that job may go into March - no progress here - still the same
menu plan - that was only partly done in January, so need to work on that - did it last week - failed this past week
finish knitted baby blanket for dd, we should know the sex of the baby by this upcoming weekend - we hope - nearly done DONEfinish two baby quilts. One is cut out the other is not - one finished, other not started need to order some more material. - MATERIAL ARRIVED, DO NOT LIKE IT...BOO...WILL USE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE....SO NEED SOME MORE MATERIAL
encourage dh and help him in the basement to get all the framing done and make a good start on the electrics. There are a lot of bulk heads to make in the basement which equals a lot of work. - done a little more - SON CAME OVER AND THEY GOT A BIT MORE DONE
sort out the basement and see what we don't want and try and sell those unwanted items. - haven't started - NO PROGRESS
knit a pair of socks - this is proving to be a pain in the butt and I think it has something to do with the yarn I have? - need a new plan of action here - KNITTING ANOTHER BLANKET INSTEAD
cut back on grocery spending and use what is in the cupboards - menu planning will help with this - work in progress - JUST THE SAME WORK IN PROGRESS
try and save as much money as I can and not buy anything online all month. - so far so good, but I do need to order material; however I have the money put aside for that - BOUGHT THE MATERIAL AS PLANNED.......BOOKOUTLET HAS A SALE ON AND THAT IS CALLING MY NAME AGAIN..........THERE ARE SOME BOOKS I REALLY, REALLY WANT...........
sort out my blue air miles card, as I want to be able to cash in for groceries not just goods. - done!

I see that progress is being made. You are a brave one to want to knit a pair of socks. I am holding off on that one, and have been for a number of years.
God bless.
I'm up to crocheting a scarf now after my first few efforts at dishcloths - gradually getting better at it. I so understand the lure of books - my local Goodwill Bookstore had a half-price sale on Saturday - unfortunately the weather was too bad and the roads too messy to go!
Wow! You're making great progress on your lists. A great easy, peasy sock pattern is from the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McFee. It's a basic, basic sock "recipe" but so simple and comfortable to wear. It's in her "Knitting Rules!" book.
Blessings,

Progress is a wonderful thing! Well done!
Great progress there! Such a shame that the fabric wasn't nice when you got to see it in 'real life'!
Many would understand the books angle!
You are going great, I think!
Well done. Baby steps I say. With every day you get a little closer to getting it all done.
Don't usually comment but the "books I really, really want" got me. There's just always one more book that looks too good to pass up, isn't there?
Great progress there Gill.
Now knitting socks & I don't get along. I absolutely hate knitting them. Just not worth the effort when you can buy them so cheaply at M&S. I know they're not wool but they're lovely & warm, I only wear thick socks for bed.
Look at you turning into me. are you nuts?:)
Hoping all is well - miss your posts - they're usually so upbeat!
Crossing things off a to do list is the best feeling! xx
It's good to put a list in print, methinks.
Delurking to say missing you and hope all is well, I enjoy your blog even if you post once a week :-)
Happy Easter, Gill - hope all is well!
I love lists and your menu posting on blackboard,I'm trying to get into that myself as I lose track. Great idea.
Bathroom is delish. Love the colours.
