Why do I find it so hard to stick at stuff.

Take blogging and knitting just to mention a couple of things.

I love to write, take photo's, bake, love to talk about my children.

I do all of the above on a daily basis but what I write hardly ever ends up in a journal

or on my blog as you can see by the lack of post

and more often or not I just end up ripping it up and putting it in the bin.

This doesn't matter so much I guess as after all the only person I'm letting down is myself.

However the knitting is a different matter it's not quite that simple.

I don't go out to work because as a single parent i choose to be at home to look after my children,

I don't have family or close friends to help out during holidays.

However being a single parent I didn't want to become a government statistic so I took it upon myself to register as self employed it seemed like a good idea at the time.

That's what i do when I'm in hyper mode I believe I can do anything, I'm superwomen..

The only problem is that it doesn't last and I don't stick at it, like I said this doesn't matter when it comes to writing a journal or blogging but when it's time for me to do a tax return or renew my tax credit I then realise that I haven't really got it in me to run a business no matter how small.

It's not that the toys I knit don't sell, it's I don't make enough I seem to knit in fits and starts and if anything else needs doing like the housework I do that instead.

Now when it's just housework or shopping that's not so bad because I still get the odd bit of knitting done however recently I decided that I needed to start decorating the house.

We'd been here two years and although it's a new build it was looking a little tired.

I started with the kitchen, then I did the bathroom and downstairs toilet. I worked day and night so everything else got put on the back burner.

I just become all consumed on projects that's why I registered self employed because at the time I was knitting day and night.

My Pooh Corner Kitchen

My restful bedroom

Living Room

New Sofa and Snuggle Chair.

My Craft Cupboard.

I spent the whole of May decorating, and buying all new stuff for each room, I even bought a new sofa and cuddle chair for the living room, lucky enough I had been saving my pennies for this exact reason.

So now I only have the children's rooms to do

Then the weather started warming up and I wanted to be outside more.

That's when I decided to start the garden, which was the last time I blogged.

Since then I have finished the whole of the garden, a patio area, decking and flower beds,

again working day and night so once again no knitting has got done.

Work has began.
