Hello 2010

And a very big HELLO to all you very lovely bloggy people ~ I hope that you all had a fantastic time at Christmas and although I am a little bit later than most people I would like to wish you all a wonderfully happy and healthy 2010.

We had a very quiet Christmas at home ~ just the four of us ~ and it was really lovely to be able to spend some time together. We did go out a couple of times to visit family but other than that most of the time has been spent at home. We have had a few lazy days when we have spent all day in our pyjamas. We have snuggled up on the settee with blankets watching Christmas dvds. There has also been lots of tea drinking and an HUGE amount of chocolate eating too!

The weather here has been very snowy and the children have had an absolutely fantastic time playing in the snow ~ sledging, throwing snowballs, building snowmen and snowcanos ~ which my little boy tells me is a volcano made out of snow! You live and learn!! We have been ready to wrap freezing cold little feet in warm blankets and cozy socks when they have finished playing and supplying hot chocolate to warm them up again.

Like many of you I have been taking a little look back over my blog for 2009 and thought that you might like to take a little look with me too.

There has been.............

::Woolly bits::
::Woolly birds::
::Flowery favourites::
::Holidays and Adventures::
::and of course some crochet too::

I'd just like to say Thank you to all you lovely people who take the time to visit my little bloggy space. I have really enjoyed being part of the lovely bloggy world in 2009 and am looking forward to lots of colourful creativity in 2010:O)

Crochet Mosiac

Hooray! I did it! I'm so excited about it too! ~ I have finally managed to make a photo mosaic and I have to say that I am very, very happy with it indeed :O)

I have admired these wonderful photographic creations that I have seen in other peoples blogs for such a long time and I have tried unsuccessfully several times to make one for myself. However, yesterday it seems that I finally cracked it!


I used a combination of Flickr and Bug Huge Labs and once you get the hang of it then it is fairly easy to do. It is lovely to have all my colourful October crochet projects in one image and I can definitely see myself making a few more of these lovely creations for future blog posts.

Right.......I really do have to go and do some yukky but very necessary household chores ~ laundry, dishes, cleaning, dusting, hoovering............. you all know how it is ~ the list is endless! Oh and I have to sew some pink elastic onto some ballet shoes for this afternoon too ~ these poor ballet shoes have been waiting for their elastics for a good few weeks now!

I hope that you all have a very lovely weekend :O)
