Well although I haven't blogged for a while I've been really productive, honest! It started with this Darth Vader birthday cake for my husbands birthday, not a masterpiece but recognisable at least.
Then it was full steam ahead on handmade christmas presents- knitting scarves, tea cosies, socks, hand warmers/ fingerless gloves, and sewing aprons, bags and fabruckets etc- I'm just hoping no-one i've made them for will see this post before they receive the gift!! And then of course there's all the culinary goodies i've been bottling and baking.
I have still managed to find some time to crochet up a few more puffballs, for my Rural Collusions project, in these fabulous new shades of the cotton tape that I dyed earlier with Nicola and Sam at Halfpenny Home (check out the blog at www.halfpennyhome.blogspot.com). These colours are the green from purple feathery rush heads (common reed), the pale pink from brazil wood and the darker rose colour from kutch( i'm not sure that's spelt correctly) over dyed with brazil wood and don't they look good placed on my christmas tree for a real natural, and festive, effect. Right I must go and finish making my christmas cards i think 100 are done only 20 odd to go!!!!
