scanning books and vanishing remotes - way too much technology!

It's so hard to fit craft into life! However, I've managed to make some things for Ducking Fabulous, and Mum's been experimenting with decoupaging photo frames, and I have a good partnership going with Gran where she crochets flowers and I make them into necklaces! I'll have a crafty family if it's the last thing I do, lol!

Just finished reading Cecilia Ahern's wonderful Book of Tomorrow, I do love her books very much :) I'm not sure where that takes me with my 2010 book challenge, I must update that from work tomorrow. No, not me being lazy, I keep the list on my work email along with my ever growing lists of books I want to read and craft books for this blog! Incidentally I'm aware I've not done much in the way of things from books recently, I think perhaps that aspect of the blog may be temporarily on hold until I move out... there just isn't the time and space here to do that.

My next big project is scanning all the books that live here and packing them into boxes ready for the move - ordered a barcode scanner (squeee!) in preparation for doing this, I know I'm not moving till June but I really do need to shift some of this stuff out of the flat, I'm slowly taking over and it's not fair on my parents!

Also bought about three million knitting needles, and Mum and I are going to try to learn to crochet this week while Dad's away... hmm, I get the impression this may not be the most successful enterprise ever, lol! We've spent an inordinate amount of time over the last two days hunting for our Sky remote which has mysteriously vanished - if you see it, please send it home with a Paddington-style tag around its neck (do remotes even HAVE necks?) - we miss it!

However, it's getting late and I'd better disappear, have lots to do before I can go to bed! Good night all! x
