I confess... I did lose my blogging and quilting mojo a bit...
last year....
even as I write this I am yearning for my bed :(
This is not like me at all.
It's like the last year of grief and action
has suddenly caught up with me and I am tired.
So so tired...
(Morecambe beach walk....)
(...one evening after Christmas shopping)
Usually people ask how I manage to do so much
and I usually scoff that anyone thinks I am managing much at all,
but who knew that 3 children especially a certain lovely
(yet boundlessly energetic and incredibly demanding) 4 year old
would eat into my sewing time so much LOL.
(our usual homemade hot chocolate
after a cold walk or cycle for the older Kalico kid's)
(Christmas baking with Miss Kalico - age 4)
Anyway, a new year looms
and unfinished projects call,
as well as new ones begging to be started!!
(A colleague's birthday cake I made this week - it had smarties inside!)
Ideally, I would like to get my house and sewing studio
super tidy and organised and then I could sew guilt free
(while the washing, cleaning and cooking sorted itself out!!)
(a coffee mat for my boss's December birthday)
The holidays are over and it's back to work!
My nephew and his girlfriend stayed with us for a few days
so we crammed a bit of action into his visit
including a trip to the local cheese factory,
a visit to Bolton Abbey....
and a brief walk to the waterfall: Gordale Scar:
then they went off to to the Forest of Dean
where they got engaged!!!!
Clearly DH and I did not sufficiently put them off the idea of marriage LOL!
Anyway, I think that sums up me, for now.
No mega New Year's resolutions,
just an attempt to keep my chin up and my fingers full of fabric
Happy New Year y'all! :)
