I'm easing myself back in...

I'm easing myself back in slowly to this blogging thing. You may of noticed I'm not currently listing anything in either of my two shops. I've decided to stick for the time being to making bits and pieces for friends or family which I'll be sharing with you. However, if you do ever see any thing you like, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do for you.

I've been thinking about my blog a lot and I've decided to be more structured as well as knitting including fun things I've found online.

I've been knitting but yet again no photos to show I'll be downloading tomorrow so will blog about them by the weekend.

I'm back from as well as a unexpected blogging holiday a very hot two weeks in Turkey. It was a fab holiday and just what I needed, ie lying by the pool everyday and shopping in the evenings only interrupted by power naps in the afternoon when it was too hot to sunbathe.

I thought I'd start my first day back with a little bit about me which i picked up from http://www.ninnynoodlenoo.com/blog
