a 365 - or rather a 366 ...

hello and welcome to an exciting new blog thing ... a year in which I plan to make 365 things and share them with you ... only the smart-media card (for my faithful camera) died this evening, and even a format would not make it feel better ... plus it ate todays pictures!

also i was rather ill, first shivery then much too hot ... I shuffled about making hot drinks and feeling woolly headed! But after a few pain killers I cut out some grey fur!

Onwards and Upwards we say - Happy New Year! xxxxx

Happy New Year!

It's very Small ye are tonight Hamish? Ye'll have had your tea then?

mrs pack rat resolves to do some dusting ...

and shes starting out with her sniney new feather duster in my etsy shop.
a few cob webs there since christmas i can tell you ... after that she needs to dust off my glue gun, so i can fiddle with a certain foam head ...

anyway, visit her in the etsy shop ... i wonder if anyone will want me to seperate her duster from her?

WIP - the last animal of 2008

i did finish an animal yesterday, the last one of the year ...
i will show it to you tomorrow, promise. my photography is often lagging behind real life!

did you have a good new year? we were all in bed by 9.30pm, and no getting up to sick children. a monster bug has yucked its way through our 'holidays' and we are still not fully recovered. here's to a healthier new year ...

baby mary who was born this year, and whose birth was blogged by me the day she was born, is now eight months. cute and cheeky, but growing FAR TOO FAST!
