I had to be creative for Christmas as I was asked to make a Darth Vader helmet for my 6 month old niece, Martha, now affectionately referred to as Marth Vader. I will post pictures when I get a nice one.
My knitting is getting known around friends and colleagues and orders are starting to come my way, I could have a thriving business if I knuckle down to it. This may be a good thing as my job is under threat of redundancy, but hey ho every cloud has a silver lining.
It may be the opportunity for me to change my life to something I dream to do, something in the arts and crafts.
New Year resolutions are being made, the first one is to use up my wool stash, and how am I going to do this? By joining this group on Ravelry www.ravelry.com/groups/12-months-of-christmas-2013, I vow to create at least one gift a month to give to my friends and family next Christmas. I'm halfway through my first Owl wrist warmer, a brilliant easy pattern from December's issue of Mollie Makes
I love love love this magazine it is truly inspirational, it also has a fantastic website www.molliemakes.com if you love crafts you will not be disappointed.
I have no excuse not to maintain my blog as I now have a proper phone which will make it easier for me to update and add photos etc. Another resolution get blogging !
I'm off now to rest my achy fluey body, curl up on the couch with my ginger tea and my knitting. A quiet but happy new year I hope.
Happy New Year to you all xx
