How are you?
I hope you all had a lovely fun filled Christmas & a great start to 2017!
Sorry I haven't been around much lately.
2016 was a year I had so much hope for but in the end
it turned into the strangest year I can remember!
So much has happened recently in this little world of ours,
and if I'm perfectly honest most of which I'd much rather
like to forget about quickly! Unfortunately I think we won't be able to, as for
years to come the consequences of recent events will come back to haunt us!

Confronted with so much unfathomable ....crazy....stupidity....
hatred & right out lies, I seem to have lost my voice a little!
I just felt the need to hibernate from the online & news world.
It is so soothing being a little childish occasionally putting myhatred & right out lies, I seem to have lost my voice a little!
I just felt the need to hibernate from the online & news world.
fingers into my ears saying ....LALALALA.... I cant hear you!
I did start wondering though.... is my silence not a form of acceptance?
And accepting this unhinged crazy I will NEVER!!!
So I have come out of hibernation reminding myself
to focus on the positive, happy, creative & good
in social media and ignore the rest!!!
With that in mind here is a little catch up of some of my
happy, creative & every day pretties from the past few months....

I have been loosing myself
in books, fluffy lattes, sweet treats & CrEaTiViTy!
These truffles were the tastiest escapism I have ever had.
Playing around with ideas is
a lovely way to block out a world gone barmy
and dull down that feeling of uncertainty
and I have been doing a fair bit of that!
Remember this?
My first explorations into crochet hexagons!
I finally finished it in November, making me now
the very proud owner of a beautiful hexagon blanket!!!

Fair Isle cardigan in the prettiest shade of yellow!

It reminds me of sunshine on a frosty day.... can't help but LoVe it!
