Seasons Greetings

A little late in the day but...........Seasons Greetings from me!

I've been a bit absent from blogger as I tend to get a bit absorbed by Christmas. I've never been very good at juggling things and tend to be able to focus only on one thing at a time!

I thought the delightful victorian picture of the birds above was rather apt, as we have blue tits and long tailed tits in our garden. Along with territorial blackbirds, a lone robin, ring necked doves and waddling wood pigeons.

I shall be giving a lot of thought to my bear making and soft sculpture in the new year and giving my website another make over and developing some new designs. The elephant I've been making is completed and sits patiently on my desk waiting for his collar! I'm rather pleased with the way he has turned out.

Well, enjoy your festive breaks everyone and the biggest of thanks to those of you that have given a home to my bears or rabbits and thanks also to those of you who pop by and read my rabblings.

Hearty holiday hugs,

A Sugar Dusted Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! May you be healthy and happy hearted.

Well we certainly had a white Christmas! Robert took this photo almost at the end of our garden while I was still slumbering in bed. Robert is the one who lets the chickens out in the morning! To the right of the fence is the chickens area of our garden. They are NOT impressed with the snow! No grass to peck at :(

My decorations will come down maybe tomorrow. I feel heavy hearted about it, as I so miss the twinkly cosiness of it all at Christmas. Rooms always look so bare.

I buy new decorations each year to add our tree, it's a slight addiction I think! I left the red off this year as we finished decorating the room Christmas Eve (!) and I felt just the gold would suit the room better.

These were my new additions to our tree. They are meant for light fittings and are made of cut glass.

They create rainbows on the walls when the sun catches them. Truly beautiful. I shall have to wait a whole year to see then again. Sigh.

On the bear front I'm planning to make some minis! Something I can sit and do in the evenings. I've a couple of ideas bouncing around in my head at the moment. For a while now I've been wanting to re-do my website. I shall have to put my thinking cap on for that one.

Anyway, once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
