January Page

I finished "January" today. Very liberating. Instead of being shackled by indecision and doubt, agonizing over the perfect composition, I simply grabbed a few bits that I could, and assembled the page, inbetween minding Master Two. I know it's not perfect. And I have to remind myself that the process is just as important as the outcome (if not more so). And so I find myself ready to hand over my journal for our swap, satisfied with my creative process, and rearing to go for "February".

Silly Monkey

I found this gorgeous monkey pattern by Melissa Mall (innerchildcrochet.com). I made my own little chap -size 1.75cm hook, 5 perle cotton. My daughter has requested a purple one. I rather like him sans eyes.





Art Journal

A friend and I decided last year that we should keep an art journal, and swap monthly. January 2010 saw it put into action.

Here is a snippet of the front cover. I decided to hand sew and quilt the cover, but make it removable to make journalling easier.




Groundhog Day

Joined in the #groundhogalong at Ravelry, organised by June (planetjune.com). I used 8 cotton perle, and size 1.5mm hook. Bruce stands (sits) 2.5cm high.



Back to blogs

Since I mostly surf the net using a mobile device, it has become inconvenient to try to blog, and upload pics etc. Found a blogger app..so going to give it a try
