First of 2014 and news of a new project

It's been a little while in the making but here is my first completed project of the new year:


It still has quite a wintry, almost christmassy, feel - a little owl in his bobble hat - but it seems quite apt to post it this morning after the first snow has fallen on the hills around where we live. 
I am thinking of making this available as a pattern or kit on Etsy so watch this space for more news.
But in the meantime, my time may be taken up with something else very soon....

I mentioned a little plan in my last post.  I have fine-tuned my idea and am now ready to reveal all!  I am going to be challenging myself through February with a one-a-day project - MINI-MALS.   I plan to make one miniature character every weekday through February.   Hopefully this will reignite my imagination and creative juices and who knows what will emerge from this challenge? I hope you will follow me through this challenge - I may need all the encouragement I can get!!

See you next time for the first installment of mini-mals.....

I'm coming back....

After dipping my toes in the waters of a different blogging site I have decided to return to Blogger as I just could not get on with the other platform and my blogging momentum has deteriorated into non-existence. Hopefully the change of direction will refresh my motivation!
Here is a snapshot of what I've been up to since my last post here...

Finished

A Halloween pumpkin (free pattern available on Ravelry)...

Angel 4 

A Christmas angel and reindeer garlands (both for sale in my Etsy shop)...

Moving house - this is the view from our new garden...

Buddy loves food in hoop

A new venture into the world of embroidery!  This is an image of our new cat Buddy - I think it captures his aloofness rather well!  :)


And... I have a beautiful new nephew!   Many congratulations to my Sister and her husband.


It may be rather belated but Happy New Year, I hope 2014 will be a good one for all of us.  I have a little plan in the pipelines to try and keep me motivated and making this year but more about that another time.  

If I do happen to fall behind on my blog again this year please look me up on my other social networking pages:  instagram, pinterest, twitterfacebook or google+
