So, almost a year to the day since I began this blog and, well, not far off a year since my last post. Really quite depressing since I was hoping to get in to this whole blogging lark.
I guess though, life has just taken over in so many respects over the past year. So much so, that the number of projects I’ve been working on has come almost to a standstill. I’ve completed a number of things for my now Godson James – the little chap who has featured in this blog before! – including a jumper and matching hat which went down very well and also a tank top. I’m currently on another tank top for my cousins little boy who will be 1 at the end of August. It certainly has given me a bit of impetace to get on with it!
The other spark of inspiration I had was not too long ago on my birthday. A huge parcel arrived addressed to me, although, to a Mrs as opposed to Miss. I knew I hadn’t ordered anything myself so assumed it must just be a present. Turned out, it was 15 balls of wool! Beautiful wool (admitedly not what I would have chosen myself but beautiful non-the-less) but…I was still confused! There was no pattern so I didn’t know what I was to make with it all! Turned out someone with my name had ordered over the phone and they’d ended up sending it to the wrong Helen. I sent it back and as a courtesy, the buisness have offered me 15% off my next order which has got me looking at more than just their website and I’m feeling rather inspired. I have a few pieces from last year which I could maybe attempt to sell at some point before this Christmas and just maybe bulk the collection up a little.
We shall see what happens!
