The Best Laid Plans Of Mice And Men

I'm finally back - I've had a few issues with blogger but they are all (hopefully) fixed now, so I should be able to start posting again. (That's the plan anyway - we'll have to see if it works out.)

I've been busy while I've been on my forced blogging hiatus namely with flowers and with some sewing projects. I made a soft toy last week. I haven't made one since December last year, and it felt good to get back into the groove again. I hope to make some more while I'm on holidays from study, and update my etsy store which has been sadly neglected.

For now I'll leave you with a photo of a flower arrangement I made recently, and I should be back within the next couple of days to fill you in a bit more on what's been keeping me busy. (If you don't see me, just know that I'm probably having blogger issues again!)

I've Broken The Sewing Drought

Yes, I've been unable to bring myself to sew for a while - I think it's because I did so much sewing in December I just needed some time off , and the time off became longer and longer. But the other day I did it - I broke the sewing drought and pulled out my sewing machine. First I did the pile of mending that had been growing and growing. Then I felt like I could start afresh.


So I started sewing an advent calendar for a friend who has requested one.  It doesn't look like this yet - far from it actually, but it shouldn't take me too long to finish. I have until December, I suppose. If anyone else out there is keen to have one of these adorning their house, just leave a comment or send me an email, and I'll be happy to oblige. I'll need to know sooner rather than later though.


I have so many new projects I'm keen to start as well, so I'll be back soon with those. Soft toys, the quilt I did a post about a couple of weeks back, and lots more. A break is definitely a good thing - I feel totally rejuvenated.

Audience Participation Please!!

Mr Montague would like to find a new home. And he wants to look the best that he possibly can, so someone will buy him. But he (and I) can't decide which photo should be his main photo. Can you help??

Should it be:

The winning smile?


                                                                       The relaxed pose?

                                             His bright shorts? (I'm not serious about that one)


The side-on profile?

The full body shot?

Which photo would make you buy him? I'm using the side-on profile at the moment but just not sure. Help me, if you can!
