Squiddley has arrived..............

Squiddley has arrived in the UK!!!!

I would like to thank Clare for sending him so quickly, in fact he is in time for a Christmas make.

Also inside was this cute little card and a very striking business card which I have stored away safely.

My only problem is not having the right fabric.  So I think a trip round the fabric shops on Etsy is called for this afternoon.

I now need to go and finish the second of three project submissions for a magazine.  I am not allowed to say anymore but the first should appear after Christmas, I will let you know nearer the time.  I love having a deadline etc.  I was astounded and really chuffed when they said that they wanted all three if the ideas that I put forward.

Maybe one day I will have the chance to do a book, you never know.  Although I did make a book of my quilt blocks with Blurb dot com.  There is a link in the side bar if you have not heard of them before.

Last week i also started this...............

A friend at work passed it on.  It is about a lady called Lydia who has survived cancer twice and decides to open a wool shop.  It follows the lives of the women who attend her beginners knitting group.  I am only on page 97 and I am enjoying it so far.  There are many books by Debbie Macomber in the shops at the moment.

Worth taking a look at.  I have also been making 8 skinny scarves for a local commission as a result of the craft fair that I did last month.  I am definitely not making anything financially with this but I hope that it may lead on to other things in the future.  So I have been busy making but I can not show any of it here just yet.  I also have about 5 copies of Mollie Makes to catch up on too. 

Roll on the Christmas break!!
