Why? Well, because my blogging had pretty much dried up. The last few years had come and gone with only a few posts to show for them. So to herald the eleventh year of this blog &#8211; yes, that&#8217;s right eleven years, I thought I would see if I could commit to writing\u00c2\u00a0another 52 entries.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been strict and I&#8217;ve held to it although it&#8217;s been difficult at times. Some Mondays I&#8217;ve only just managed to get the post up before midnight&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be hard to generate the\u00c2\u00a0energy\u00c2\u00a0for writing. Content can also be a problem. This is primarily a crafty blog but, like everyone else, I go through periods where I&#8217;m just not doing anything crafty. That can be for a whole raft of reasons, I might just be busy with something else like my garden or decorating a room. With gardening I can take a photo and I guess I could of the room but that green paint\u00c2\u00a0stubbornly\u00c2\u00a0refuses to allow itself to be captured in pixels.<\/p>\n<p>So this week I&#8217;ve been moving furniture back into my bedroom, sorting through old clothes, reading, going to the cinema and watching tv. Oh and of course working at my dayjob. I&#8217;ve looked longingly at my knitting several times but haven&#8217;t knit a stitch.<\/p>\n<p>The things that I want to work on are these two cabled Ysolda berets. Both of them have been WiPs for a few years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/wpid-IMAG0809.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" title=\"IMAG0809.jpg\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/wpid-IMAG0809.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So hopefully I&#8217;ll be able to sit down and work a few rows on one soon.<\/p>\n<p>Now that my Monday blogging challenge is at an end I probably won&#8217;t be blogging every week. I think I&#8217;ll only blog if I have something that I feel is blog worthy. I say that but I may feel differently next Monday, I may still blog then. Time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile the\u00c2\u00a0indoor\u00c2\u00a0hyacinths are starting to bloom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/wpid-IMAG0806.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" title=\"IMAG0806.jpg\" alt=\"image\" src=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/wpid-IMAG0806.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, this time last year I pledged to blog every Monday for a year.
