Where is the time going

It seems like time is going by so fast, and lots of things are being done. The year is rushing by, we are April already and there is so much to be done. Well according to my head there is so much to be done, I could take a step back and relax a bit, but I am so keen to empty my stash and soon, sick of a big mess on the floor. All cupboard space is full and I refuse to take it outside the room where it lives. I finished the baby hoodie yesterday and will give it to the baby on Wednesday when he arrives from Melbourne. I showed his grandma this morning when I arrived at work and she suggested that I keep it and give to him on Wednesday. It will be nice to see him and the hoodie together, I am sure the Denim colour is going to suit him, but will be nice to see it does. I pattern shows the hoodie with flat buttons, I did see some very cute little toggle buttons, but being for a 6 month old, it may have been a bit uncomfortable for him when he is rolling over on his belly, I found some nice flat buttons that suit the colour really well. I started the other day on the cardigan for another person at work's baby, I am doing a pale blue cardigan with cute little boats on the front, the boats have a flag that sits out from the front too, very cute. I will finish the second front tonight and hopefully a sleeve tomorrow night, I usually do both sleeves together, but as this cardigan only takes 2 balls of yarn and I have finished one ball, I will need to do the sleeves separately. I am hoping for a Thursday finish on this cardigan. I sorted out some yarn to sell at the Old Fire Station Knitters sale in May in Kiama, I have a heap of acrylic yarn from my mother in law and some other yarns that realistically I am not going to use, and I need to clear room on my floor in my computer/craft room. Some of these yarns are very nice and expensive, but if I am not going to use them, I can't see any reason to keep them any longer. I am in a very harsh de-cluttering mood. Photos to come, they are in the camera, I need time to download them and put them on this page.

Oh the little cardi with boats on it sounds so lovely. My stash has left the room and invaded all the other rooms! I don't know where the year has gone either????
