OMG, my posts are so scattered, they always seem to be about snow. Well anyway, there was more snow this Christmas which my little horrors loved as usual. Lucy had loads of fun on her £3.50 plastic sledge from good ole Trago Mills and Christmas was sniffle free which is a first for this family.

     Been busy working on not one but 2 new books for The Guild of Mastercraftsmen. The first is nearly in the can: Knitted Dinosaurs and was such a fun project from start to end. There are 15 dinosaurs in all including Plant Muncher, Dino Birds, Sea Monsters and of course the Mighty Meat Eaters. All the guys, including the big bad ones became characters in their own right as soon as I got their eyes on and their faces came to life. I was almost sad to post them off to GMC for photography which shows one of two things: 1- I enjoyed the project or 2- I need to get out more!!!

     Anyway, the second book I am about to get stuck into is called 'Sewn Nursery' which is a gorgeous book of sewing projects for your childs nursery. Again it is full of fun bright colours and includes toys, clothes and accessories. Will tell you more when it is nearer completion.

      Both books are due out later this year and I will provide links for purchasing as soon as they are available to buy.

       Been running these books alongside my usual magazine commission mayhem and am not sure what day it is anymore! Thank goodness I love my job.

       Here's a sneaky peek of one of my dino pals. A big cuddly diplodocus knitted in chunky yarn and with denim patch detailing.

Here's hoping my next blog post is not entitled Snoooow again!

Happy knitting (and sewing)
