So much crafting . . . . so little time!

The last two weeks seem to have been pretty busy . . . . trying to squeeze in a lot of crafting but not always finding the time to blog about any of it!

We had some beautiful snowy scenes here in the Hebrides last week . . .


This is me one week later getting round to posting my snow pics!

Never mind . . . . it was lovely at the time ;-)

Spent some time with my new Mary Jane Mucklestone book (in German - don't ask!!) . . .


I'm loving playing around with some fair isle patterns from it - hence the wrist cuff - not the best colour choices but all I had in my small stash of Shetland yarn.

Made some more buttons for the shop . . .


Some baking (we had no biscuits in - don't panic!!) . . .


These are viennese biscuits - easy peasy recipe here :)  I'm rekindling my love of baking - Yay!

A new collage purse in the shop . . .


And some new labels for future makes . . .


Also thinking and planning of a new, fun venture for later in the year - but more of that when I have some concrete information - hmmmm, yes very cryptic!

I think I meant to post all this in about 4 different posts - ah well, it's a condensed post I suppose!

Ji-ji the cat has slept through it all - isn't she lucky - it's a cat's life . .


Hope to get back to regular blogging now that my intensive stock making is slowing down a little :)

Bye for now :)

Hi, Alison! Long, long time, eh? Life has been ... well, it would take a lot of words to catch it all up. :) I have a random question for you: My sister is looking for help translating some English into Gaelic. Is that something you would be able to do, or know how she could go about doing that accurately? Thanks. Glad to see all is well with you!

Such beautiful colours in the tweed, the buttons are a real delight I am in the process of making some for a crochet cushion I have just made. Love your labels.

I love your 'makes', especially the lovely wrist cuff.
