Crafty!

So ladies, back to being me happy and well, I kicked that cold to the curb.So what have you all been up to?Work, work and a few indulges for me.Can not be helped when your Christmas shopping I suppose. These  purpley brown shoes were a real bargain, in that when I got to the till they were half there marked price again.

    Told you all I mostly done my xmas shopping i want to make my sister a crochet gift, not much time.I was thinking of a shrug or maybe a small runner to dress her bed. The trick is to use the wool I already have as I need to use it up.im been very disciplined, but if  i see a bargain to good to resist, I might fall of the wagon.
   I have not done much crocheting for a while, I get into another craft and my brain can only focus on that one at the time.im challenging my self to do a daily art journal.i want to sharpen my drawings skills. Thinking in the new year to do a drawing blog has well as this blog.One of my absolute favourite art journal bloggers is Kathrine Jebson-Marwdel.
     So I have now gone back to my little grey squares with jewel like colours, I think they will be a blanket.Too many for a cushion now, and a good way to use up my odds and ends




I made these cherry and coconut scones, they were delicious.I also tried a new spiced apple drink from Ikea,I love apple drinks this one im not sure a bit to much cloves  in the flavour,this over powered the apple.Any way my dears Im off to sort out uniforms for school and work. lunch boxs ect...See you all soon x

    Lovely little squares.

    Do not stress youself with Christmas!
    It is about joy, fun, love - not about presents.

    Why not making two cushions out of the squares and giving them to your sis?
