Blogging failure....

I really haven't done any crafting/writing or

panting since November...

I have done loads of knitting though (but can't show yet)

I did manage to get out and plant a few seeds

 in a lull between storms during Imbolc...

and Nature never let's me down :D

 Spinach seedlings coming on strong...

Kale kicking off beautifully...

 Spring daffs, planted by hubby...

 all came up while we weren't looking.

 and just today, on the run up to 

Ostara...

SPAWN!!! :D

Stay safe and stay healthy.

Being busy is a good thing...

At least it means when I remember to blog I

will have something to show you lol :D

Obviously the time of year dictates why I 

am busy....

made loads of christmas cards to send...

didn't take any photos doh!

Made 3 lots of preserves

( a few bottles of Crabapple brandy and 

Blackcurrant Gin nom)

 but mostly we have been redecorating.

Our sitting room now has a proper

fireplace (though the fire isn't "plumbed in yet")

 I bought some flickering fake candles to 

give it a cosy feel for now :D

The internal brickwork is original 

but the rest is wallpaper.

Not a bad match really :D

enjoy, stay warm and see you 

soon

Changes for the better...

This is the "Sacred Self Care" art doll I made for a 

LifeBook 2019 class with

Tamara Laporte.

(this class can now be bought individually)

She showed us how to work with clay

(but I decided to embrace my impatience)

and used a "Russian doll" for my base.

 I have had this set for year and don't really

do "Father Christmas"....

 I sanded each one and coated with white gesso...

 then black gesso as I was going to use them 

for a "darker" project.

 I can't go through the "re-decorating" process as 

it is a paid for class....

 but I think you might enjoy a few close-ups

 as she is subtley sparkly

 and I still have 4 little gems waiting for rebirth.

Enjoy XXX

New Year Reboot

So...4 months away from Blogland

 and I was considering just letting the Blog die

 a natural death as I wasn't feeling the need to

post at all.

But death doesn't mean the end of something,

it can also mean rebirth...so I guess I will just 

do a revamp and make this space more just for me

(though visitors are always welcome)

For now I will share some of the art work I 

have been making along with Life Book 2019

 (a certain Darkness is needed to see the Stars)

with Tamara Laporte

to remind me that life can be a joyful place :D

So I will be around to visit folks soon

Stay Safe and Well as the Wheel turns again.
