Winter Golden Light and a Christmas Giveaway.

-


 The days are becoming shorter so when we get days of sunshine, it's so very welcome.




The light was fleeting but the show of golden was well worth it.


Cosy at home in the evening, I've been busy with my knitting needles. 
Sorry for the blurred picture, the children in my family aren't very good at keeping still!


A warm top for Maisy with a matching hat.


A little vest for Harry made from oddments left over from a crocheted blanket that I'd made last year


that fits him very well indeed.

If you're a knitty crochet kind of person you might like to visit my Ravelry profile to see my other woolly projects. :)

In other news...
The winning name to be picked for my christmas giveaway is Linda Chant. Congratulations! :)



Thankyou for visiting today! xx

Dear Jessie, the English nature is so beautiful! (BTW very much alike ours!) Golden, green and blue - what a perfect combination. And a reindeer - this is an unusual sight for me!!
Your grandchildren are charming and sweet! You must be happy to know how comfortably they feel in what you've knitted for them with love!
Your knitted wonders are so vivid and colourful, that I am sure they have a main role in creating a cosy atmosphere at home and a good mood in you!:)

Oh my, your pictures are amazing today. Nature always brings me peace, and I have been craving it lately. The colors in the trees are lovely. You are so talented with knitting, and your grandkids will keep warm with these sweet treasures you have knitted for them.

Enjoy this Christmas season, Jessie.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
