Where have I been

Well I know I'm not good at this blogging lark.  I have very little time and when the going gets tough the blog gets forgotten.  Life hasn't been too good recently and it doesn't look like its going to get much better any time soon. So when finally making the effort toresurect the blog I wanted a really cheery picture and what could be more lovely than a big stash of yarn?  I really have no idea what to do with all this lot but I love trying to find patterns that will use up some of it.

However apart from the 'unpleasant' things that have been happening some good things have happened too.  I was treated to a subscription of Burda pattern magazine for my birthday in April.  I was a bit sceptical because I didn't ever think I would be able to find the correct pattern pieces to trace but actually I have been making loads of lovely summer things from it.  I really must get some pictures taken of them.  I also have some good plans for new Autumn/Winter outfits if I can find the time to make them.
