A New Year....

Yet again...it's been a while.


So what have I been up to...not painting that's for sure!!!
The lure of the paintbrush has been lacking of late, the lure of the sewing box and wool basket has been stronger.


I've been doing this:


A Wee Knitted House bought from here whilst on holiday

Restoration of a inherited blanket that is the size of the moon!!! Much undoing of ancient sewing.

My nights are spent reading and digesting these and filling sketchbooks with new ideas. (oh and on the subject of sketchbooks, don't let me sign up for another Sketchbook Project, yet another empty, expensive sketchbook resides at my house)
Boxes full of wool tops waiting to be turned into something special.
Needle felting
My first attempts at needle felting
And cross-stitch presents for friends!!!

Basically, I've been having a crafty time!!
