That intention didn’t go to plan… although I did “(3) Organise my boxes of craft materials, and (4) Get felting, and stop procrastinating”. Oh, and that resolution to bring my crochet everywhere, well, yes, became like a natural extension to my hand!! 

 

So more of the same really, for 2010, with a few additions: 

-: more painting, mixed media artwork (Check out Viola… oh, I’m so inspired)

-: make some of these incredible paper crafts from The Toymaker- whether you have children or not they are completely inspiringhomepage

-: make some paper dolls- we were obsessed with these when we were children (remember the ones on the back of the Bunty magazine??) this is a great link here for some lovely dolls and clothes for any children wandering around the house!!

 

Keep checking in… I have, as usual, several projects on the go- apart from my trusty crochet hooks working away, I’ve been making needle felted tea-cosies, and I’m working on some custom-designed commissioned work, these make fantastic personalised gifts for new baby, wedding presents, birthdays or anniversaries. I want to make up a stock of samples before I post, but very exciting times indeed. Roll on 2010!!
