The changing of seasons from summer through to autumn is about midway through here, the leaves are yet to fully turn and drop but there are fungi everywhere out in the woods and the days are starting off with a definite chill in the air. For me this means a welcome return to prime knitting time and I've been busy sorting out the messy mass of projects that I started over the summer months.
I'm hoping to have patterns for a small bear, small mouse and some small sweaters ready by the end of the year (I've set myself a long deadline to hopefully hit it and minimise any deadline related anxieties). And I'm also working on a few tweaks to the Seasonal Dresses pattern - I've wanted to change the front cover for a few years now and make a few small tweaks to how the pattern repeats work on some of the designs, I'm hoping to add in a new design too. I'll keep you posted on progress.
Once I'm organised on the pattern writing front I'll be finishing a couple of animals ready for my annual giveaway - my 16th blogging anniversary was on September 4th, but as often seems to be the case these days, I just wasn't ready. And talking of anniversaries it was Toby's 21st birthday yesterday! Time really does fly doesn't it? He had a lovely evening filled with all of his favourite things, a big helium balloon, new duplo lego, bath toys, sweets, a new dvd and a new musical book, cake and curry and custard - though not all together in the same bowl :)
Well, I'm off to make the most of my 'working hours' and hopefully tick something off my to-do list today. I hope you're having a good week where you are and thanks as always for dropping in to visit with me, J x
