I know I have been inactive and unproductive for a while but I had no idea that it has been 3 months since my last post. I have not looked at anyone's posts or done much at all in that time but I am trying to get back into some crafty activities even if progress is slow and sometimes non existent.
To ensure I sent a Christmas gift in time to a family friend in the U.K , I started a couple of small crosstitches to make into hanging ornaments a few weeks prior as I knew it would take me longer than usual. I found the free designs online, selected threads from my stash and managed to do a few rows every now and then. I think I posted them just in time.
During the past week or so I have been crocheting more blooms in the hope of finishing the project some time this year! I have made 152 and I need 200 but I am not going to have enough yarn. Plan B shall eventuate at a later date.....
The final book I read last year was the latest Victoria Purman. I started the latest Fiona MacIntosh novel prior to Christmas but still have a few chapters left to read. My reading has slowed down like everything else these days as I cannot seem to read more than one or 2 chapters at a time.
In an attempt to inspire and create further enthusiasm for my newest hobby I invested in some good quality watercolour brushes before Christmas, an early Christmas gift to myself. I love Emma's free You Tube tutorials and her brushes are lovely. The packaging is gorgeous with her own watercolour design on the box and I shall be using the pretty box to keep some things in. I was certainly doing the happy dance when they arrived.

So, now my next thing to do is catch up with all your blog posts. I shall just be looking at your latest ones but hope to keep up to date after that. I tried to join in the Zoom chat at the weekend but couldn't get my camera to work so I apologise for not persevering after 3 or 4 attempts popping in and out. Maybe next time.
Happy New Year to all.
