I also tried my hand at basket weaving. It was a little hazardous and hard work. It may be a while before I try that again! I have learned how to use and Inkle Loom and a Peg Loom. I just have not learned how to make more time! I could really do with 30 hour days!
It was a big year for the UK with the Olympics and The Jubilee, next year of course we will have the Royal Baby. In July I will also hand over the the 'makes' for the 'Rainbows Preemie Project'. This has already exceeded my expectations and is still going strong.
I also increased my 'flock'. I am now the Proud 'Mama' to four Chickens and seriously with all this rain my lawn will never be the same again. Hello chickens, goodbye green lawn! The Lovely Lavender came into our lives and I promptly became a 'top shot' with a high velocity 'Water Blaster'. We love her eggs even if they are the size of an underfed pigeon's egg!
Both of my boys are growing and changing faster than I can keep up with. I try to keep it all in perspective by surrounding myself and submerging myself within my own crafty pursuits. I feel I would have gone totally bonkers by now if it was not for 'Woolly Stuff'. I really would not have things any other way. It is my chaos and I rather like it!
I am sure 2013 will be a 'good one'. I will try to find time for more 'adventures'. Hey we all survived the Apocalypse and deserve a pat on the back for that! I live in hope of winning the Lottery then I could introduce even more chaos into my life. . . there would be goats, pigs, sheep and alpaca, oh and of course more chickens, possibly a few ducks and if I felt really crazy some geese, oh and quail are cute. If any one knows how I can 'order' this from the Cosmos, please let me know!
