Fully restored

Well hello again! It's good to be back and cleared of that pesky and painful ear infection. It has laid me low, but saw some knitting and crochet, but sadly of the flitting-from-one-project-to-another-and-accomplishing-little kind. Given that Christmas is (eek) 26 days away, I could have done with being a bit more productive.

On our used for everything except dining table, I have 2 organiser bins of joy:




One contains recently completed bears, including an outfit waiting for a body:


And one is for bunnies, like this cutie that I finished last night:



This morning when I emerged, there was a parcel. Parcels are always good, but take note of the sender's address and you will understand my delight:



The contents were some beautifully soft pure merino wool, for requested hats and wristies. The colour doesn't make my heart sing, but it's what people I love have chosen:



A huge ball of acrylic and wool Aran, for bears and bunnies. The colour is a perfect 'Oats so simple'!:


And finally, a ball of claret. My bears wearing Hogwart's scarves are popular and I need to make more Gryffindor scarves:



I need to sit down with my diary and make some kind of timetable for myself. Not only have I got Christmas to sort out, but the craft shop that sells my toys needs more stock. What a very fortunate position to find myself in.

    1. It might be worth checking out their postage charges to Oz because their yarn is such good value and the Drops yarn is lovely to work with.
