I wasn't sure what to blog about hence taking so long to blog again. So I have decided to blog a bit of everything.
I'm still knitting away and having fun with new colour combinations. I've had this red ribbon in my box for about a year and have finally added it to a pair of my gloves. However, I think I need to re-take my photos again and I definitely need a model for my gloves. Someone to show my gloves off to their best potential....any takers?

I have also had a commission to knit some arm cuffs for a lady in America who is in the process of having blood transfusions and wanted to have the top of her arms covered up and this is what I came up with. Very soft, pretty and feminine....do you think there is a market for these as I think they are lovely?

Last Thursday Grace and I went to a friend of Grace's birthday party...what a cutie x

First Day

Don't even ask me what I have been doing the past few weeks as I have no idea! Time has just flown by. Anyway sorry for neglecting blogland.

Miss Grace had her first day at school on Tuesday. I say day in the loosest sense as her first day constituted of a whole hour! and again yesterday, then almost three weeks of half days after that. Breaking them in gently I guess. Anyway all was fine and she enjoyed herself and she looked so so cute in her summer dress.

Just one hour...

...is how long my paintings were in the gallery today before someone bought one! It was my small one of Loch Lomond. I'm very pleased and I just need to paint more now.

Thought I would share these photos of Grace I took on the way home today. The sun was shining and the colours she was wearing just looked great with her lovely red balloon. Hope everyone had a lovely Wednesday. I'm off to do some knitting as I have had a couple of unexpected new orders. x

At Last

I finally plucked up enough courage to submit my paintings of Loch Lomond to the gallery that I work at and they are now up on the website. I am very chuffed and they look great, fingers cross they sell and I had better pull my un-crossed fingers out and get painting some more!

This week has been my first week of Unravelling with Susannah Conway. Have a look at her website to learn more or Susannah's lovely blog Ink of My Fingers. This week is all about feet and I thought I would share my images with you.

I had a gorgeous birthday weekend and was spoilt rotten. I had three blissful days off work celebrating with lots of different people. This cake was bought for me by my hubby's boss! He had a party which coincided with my day and I threatened that I would only come if there was cake, and there was! and everyone sung Happy Birthday to me... lovely x

Happy Birthday to Me!

Having a lovely day. Just been to see the new Harry Potter film which was fab and now off to get ready to go to a party. Hope you are all having a lovely day.

Hubby likes to put new images on our Mac wallpaper and I thought I would share some of the best ones. RAWR x
