Happy Sunday...

We had a lovely day today spent at Elvaston Castle, which is only about 20 minutes drive away from us. We all went out early this morning and stomped through the lovely muddy ground and had great fun, time spent with my partner's family and their little doggy...

Just contemplating...

cross stitching, knitting and eating chocolate.. yum...

Amanda Blake Soule's Handmade Home book and Amy Karol's Bend the Rules with Fabric... I've been very creative with some ideas out of them ... will update you soon!

Autumn Baby Blanket

Well hello folks!

I finished my knitted baby blanket end of November.... am so so pleased with it. Also I completed a handknitted scarf for my partner's birthday and managed to make all my Christmas cards too.

Hope you are all having fun in the snow.. we've been out and about lots with baby and doggy.. who absolutely loves snuffling along in the snow.

Sorry it's a quick post but will update you further soon... bye for now..
