Happy New Year!

I know!
I’m here, still alive and .... writing a blog post!
I’m pretty certain I will be nattering away to myself, that you have been busy elsewhere too and probably hadn’t noticed I wasn’t here lol
But that’s fine, I hope your all well, happy, healthy and enjoying life.
I have no excuses, really, for not blogging, other than I lost the urge to?
But oddly, the urge seems to have returned so here I am, giving it another go.


This was a try at stitching leaves into flowers but I didn’t glycerine the leaves so they crumble if knocked.
An interesting thing to do though and maybe next Autumn I will get more organised and try again.
I had sat in the car waiting for number one grandson, now 11, to come out of school and looked at the bushes alongside. 
A spur of the moment leaf gathering moment lol


This was what my desk at work looked like one day in November, unbeknown to me the 5 in the office decorated my desk for me lol I seem to be the oldest there now ! But at least I am still working and enjoying making things for the kids. I do worry that one day they will turf me out as I’m having too much fun making stuff! 


Just before Christmas I was asked to make 12 little zippy pouches for some hearing impaired children to stash their hearing aid batteries and bits in.
Great fun! 
Each was to be different so no one had the same as anyone else.
I haven’t downloaded all the pics of recent makes yet ... well, not onto the IPad which I’m using just now. 
The last years worth of pictures are either on my phone or on
the laptop and I must get round to doing whatever it is you do, to make all three technologies talk to each other and share my stuff! 

But, I have been making quite abit of different stuff, as well as decluttering stash ...
.... though is there some existential or otherwise explanation as to why, 
when you declutter LOTS .... you still seem to have SO MUCH stuff STILL left?
I mean is it only me that has this problem?
Spaces aren’t evident, despite several black bins of stash having been taken to 
charity shops, or to stitch clubs sales table or donated to folks making fund raising items.
It’s a conundrum alright and if any of you have an explanation I’d love to hear it lol 
Okay, am sure this dipping my toes back into the blogging world is enough.
Now I must seriously catch up on reading your blogs and apologising profusely for not stopping by for far too long!
Take care folks.
To quote the big fella...
I’ll be back .... :)
