For Auld Lang Syne

Happy new year one and all! What a gorgeously hectic festive season it has been. We have had family staying and spent time with great friends. We have eaten, drunk, watched a tiny bit of telly and played masses of board games. The house got to a level of tidiness which I had previously thought impossible- and is fast returning to it's 'natural state'. I have made soup, disastrous Brandy butter and thanked the great god Waitrose for providing a stress free cooking experience of Christmas Eve and day.

I had hoped to show you pictures of Dad's finished Quillow, and the Baktus and necklace I made for Mum- but I was a dumb ass and didn't photograph them before wrapping them. Both my folks seemed really chuffed with their gifts and my big brother even said he'd like a quillow too, so he has chosen some fabric from my stash to give me a clue as to colour direction. I was lucky to have some lovely gifts which will fuel the crafting fires into 2011; some books, wool and threads etc. I know with the City and Guilds rolling on I shall never be short of inspiration. The course has definitely affected my blogging habits- I just seem to be pouring all my energies into it, which I hope you don't mind- I shall endeavour to keep things ticking along here.

I have not failed to notice that I now have only 24 hours until my 3rd blog anniversary and three posts until my 300th post. I will be having a giveaway- naturally. More thoughts on that to follow.

For now I shall leave you to contemplate the gentle river flowing off into the future, who knows where we shall be carried- (should be a laugh though!)
