Hello and welcome to our blog. Thank you for visiting.
January can sometimes be a quiet time of the year as we reset our lives after the celebrations of December. In this small corner, we are trying a few new ideas to help us start and finish some projects: no real resolutions, but a few things to make our lives flow better.

While we have never really been ones for New Year's Resolutions, we have started something called: "Do It In A Minute". Mum saw it on someone else's blog a few weeks ago - unfortunately, she can't remember which blog, so thank you, whoever you are. The general principle is that if you can complete a task in a minute, you should do that straight away, and I have taken to this idea like a duck to water.
I can't believe how effective it is as I am constantly doing those small tasks that I often keep putting off. Sometimes, I even do multiple tasks in a row.
My bedroom has never looked so tidy: the tea mug graveyard and floor-drobe have gone. Hopefully, it will stay that way!

I have also found a way to encourage the completion of some of my creative tasks. D had a large wooden box that she wasn't using, and I adopted it to put a few projects I am currently working on inside. The box is in our living room, so I can see it whenever I sit down in there. I plan to finish those projects and tasks before moving on to anything new. When the box is empty, I can start a new project. Anything too large for the box will have a reminder note instead.
This week, I made another felt owl in different colours, similar to the one I made at Christmas. I shall keep him out for a while, as it is still officially Winter, and he looks cosy in his red scarf. As you can see, there are a few projects in the box for me to get on with. Have you started anything new yet this year?
