Happy New Year

It is hard to believe that another year has flown by and we are here on the last day of the year already..........

............we had a lovely family christmas, with cosy happy times, and lots of fun and relaxation.....i am still enjoying the cards and candles, but will take the decorations down in the next day or two and clear up the house ready for normal life to be resumed..................

 ............i have made some things during our christmassy time........some pam kitty picnic blocks.......

                             ...............love these beautiful colours and sweet patterns................

 .........there will be lots of stars in this quilt, mixed in with other favourite blocks...................

 ................one of the things i love at new year is to have lots of green and growing plants and flowers around the house, and i received some lovely floral christmas presents this year to enjoy over the coming days and weeks................

                                             ..............a pretty berry covered plant...............

                                   ..............bright tulips and fir cones in a wintry posy............

 ..........it will be a while yet before the garden tulip patch flowers, though the out of season anemones are still producing blooms, despite being battered in the wind and rain they are still popping out another flower and then another to bring in for my new little vase...............

 ............i have enjoyed some crochet over christmas time too, beginning a new ripple blanket......

 ............there will be lots of greens and blues in this one as well as white, pink and grey.............

 ............i am looking forward to plenty of new projects as the new year unfolds.............some are work commissions with lots of exciting plans, some are things i just want to make and my ideas book is filling up for the coming months..........i love the whole world of creativity that we share here......
