...and it's February....
now how did that happen?
Unlike many...it would seem...
...I do love the month of January...
...a whole new year stretching out ahead...
...soooo many possibilities...a time to make plans...
and it always flies by too quickly
♥
...and I'm definitely loving bringing home
pots of pretty winter flowering bulbs
to brighten up the new shelves in my workroom
(lots of reorganising going on at the moment too ;) )
The snow on the roof just a few days ago created a
soft, luminous light which was just beautiful in here
♥
...and as you can see at the top there
for anyone who has asked about the doll kits...
♥
The only doll not available at the moment
is Molly (top right) as two of her shades have completely sold out
but her kit should be ready again in the next week or so
and I'll update the page when that happens...
(Update...'Molly' Doll Kits are now available again here)

I agree with you Susan on January, I don't mind it at all, as you say the whole year stretches out in in front of you and it's a time to tidy and plan! I would like time to slow down a bit now though so we can enjoy the next few months, sometimes it all goes way too quickly!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all your little dolls again and I'm looking forward to your knitting news! :)

Thank you Vivienne...Wouldn't it be great if we could slow time down?....Even just a little bit would be most welcome! (coming to visit you now :) )...xx
DeleteHello dear Susan, it's great to see your cheerful post here today. I can't believe how quickly January flashed by! Your dolls are just the sweetest.....no wonder the kits sell out. Keep snug and keep knitting xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane....I love making dolls (....and I'm coming to see what you've been up to very shortly! ;) )...xx
DeleteGood to see you back with another lovely post. So much to look forward to in January, i do so agree with you! It's good to take time to savour each new month as it comes, isn't it, and to plan a new year of lovely things............
ReplyDeleteKeep warm,
Lynda.
Thank you Lynda...hope you've had a good start to 2015...xx
DeleteGood morning susan!!! Your pretty spring flowers here are a warm welcome on this cold snowy day. There are new possibilities now in 2015, and I wish you the best of them. Your page is as gorgeous as always my friend! Anita
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely Anita :-) ...xx

ReplyDeleteThank you Kate...hope you've had a lovely start to 2015!...x

ReplyDeleteThank you lovely Teresa...I'm coming to catch up shortly! ;)..xx
DeleteBeautiful flowers. Chrystal is my favourite doll, such pretty colours. Creative Blessings, Tracy x
ReplyDeleteThank you Tracy...and yes, I love Chrystal's shades too x
DeleteHow I love your colorful world, Susan! And though I am not posting for the time being, I am still present and enjoying my visits to my favorite blogs. YOU ARE ONE OF THEM! I will be back one day, and hopefully, with a book that I am working on.
ReplyDeleteHave a cozy day with a cup of tea at your side as you create such beauty! Anita
Thank you Anita....your book is sure to be wonderful (and you have the luckiest students ;) )... You will be missed dearly until you return!...xx
DeleteAhh, you've chosen a good word in Whoosh to describe the speed of January! The New Year can bring us renewed energy and enthusiam...and that renewal can easily fill our days. Isn't it grand that the daylight's increased hours are becoming apparent?
ReplyDeletexo
It is indeed....I'm loving those precious extra minutes each day Frances! ♥....xx
DeleteI am not a knitter (at least not in the real sense), but I so enjoy your lovely dolls and I'm amazed that you can think these up and write out the pattern. That must be quite a feat. At least in my mind :) I've always worked in crochet and used to crochet dolls and animals as well as doilies, and children's sweaters, which I created one of my own for children at one time. But now on to different things at the moment. Anyway, I really do love what you create, and always enjoy coming by and seeing your posts.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Marianne
Thank you dear Marianne....I'd like to create a crochet doll some time in the future....Hope you've had a wonderful start to 2015!...xx
ReplyDeleteOnce again a lovely post...I bought your Belle in Harrogate, I haven't started yet, but to own a real Susan kit is a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteHugs from a very cold Amsterdam
Erna x
Oh how lovely Erna!!!....I remember you saying that you were going to the Harrogate show and I'm thrilled that you purchased a Belle kit ♥ Keep warm in beautiful Amsterdam! xx
DeleteNo idea where January went! I am trying to hold on to February though! xx
ReplyDeleteYes, hold on tight Amy....we need to make it last! :-) xx
DeleteWonderful to see you back again!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jayne....hope you've had a lovely start to 2015 ♥..xx
DeleteAnd thank you so much for putting me on your blog roll - I am honoured! I am working away on my little mice, so hopefully will have some pics up soon. Thanks again!
DeleteI too rather like January ... it's the very hot summer months that I fill me with dread.
ReplyDeleteYour doll kits are just delightful.
I'll join you about very hot summers Annie....definitely not for me either! ;-) ...xx (and thank you!)
