Ummm, - Merry Christmas ?
No, far too late for that.
Happy New Year then ?
Still a bit late.
How about ' A FANTASTIC REST OF THE YEAR' wish to you !
Yes, that will have to do.
I'm sorry about not getting back to you with the Christmas Angel pattern, she's half done, honestly, and I will finish up the tutorial so you can make her for next year, or you can say she's a fairy and play with her anytime.
She looks a bit cross at having been abandoned doesn't she.
I hope you are having a great start to this new year, I haven't felt like doing much til now, but I have at least finished my version of these ( using Rowan Cashcotton, 3.75 mm needles and casting on 42 st . Also for the thumb I replaced the 4st with 6st, therefore ending up with 18 st instead of 12 )
Lovely and snuggly. I'm also in the process of knitting a smaller pair for Molly, so if anyone wants the details of those I'll post them up next time.
Feeling all crappy and January-ish, I decided to do a bit of web drifting last night, and I know I've linked to these before, but they've updated their websites and goodness me, I nearly keeled over at the cuteness.
Apolline a Paris - which looks like new stuff is going to be added soon, but very cute anyway.
Petit Pan - which has the sweetest intro to a website ever.
And Helen Manche - via The constant gatherer you have GOT to look at that little video.
Ok, now back to doing something, I'm going to repair a thrifted patchwork duvet cover for Molly, and finish painting a dresser which has been cobbled together from some old mdf units and a bookcase, I feel very much in an applique and decoupage mood at the moment, using scraps of things so I don't have to spend any cash that I haven't got,so we'll see what happens from here.

dresser wip.
Wishing you a lovely weekend !
Happy rest of the year to you!!!

All of your crafts are just so darn cute...I must become more crafty in the new year!
Posted by: Annie | January 22, 2009 at 11:44 PM
I understand about the Jan. blahs...Just the other day, I basically told myself to sit down for a while and sew something, anything, just to get to doing again. Sometimes we all lack the movivation to get into working on our creative projects, the grey days here and cold weather hasn't helped much. Glad to see your back. Love the pink monkey.

Don't worry about it. There are lots of us who take long, unplanned breaks from blogging. But we are very glad to have you back.

I just stumpled into your blog and I love the picture of the little monster with the dollies. Do you have the patterns for all three or can you direct me to where I could find them? I love to make dolls for my granddaughters and I would like to have those patterns.

Happy every holiday! Good to see your back. I have missed seeing what you're up to, but I have enjoyed checking out the blogs you linked in. I am addicted to the photo in constant gatherer- the mbile type thing with all the felted colorful things- it is so cool! I want to make one! Um, yeah, I'll add it to my list and should get to it by oh, say 2012? Hope all's well with you in your spot of the world!
Posted by: Melissa | January 25, 2009 at 03:36 PM
Missed you! Happy rest of the year!

I love your little bears and was wondering if the pattern was available anywhere, or is this one you have developed yourself?
thanks
