~ January Sketch - Stick It Down DT ~

I know we have headed away from Christmas and are firmly in 2016 but I couldn't help using this sketch challenge to create this cute page of my cat Millie in her Christmas Collar.

Head over to the Stick It Down blog to join in with us this month and to see everyone else's fab interpretations.

We've had shocking weather here in the UK over the last few weeks so I apologise for the dark photo.

Here's hoping 2016 brings you everything you've wished for!

Happy Crafting!

~ Happy New Year! ~

So as we head in to another year, what are your thoughts and plans for the year ahead?

I don't generally make New Years resolutions as they don't tend to last. I work in an area of nursing where most of my patients are unlikely to see in another new year so I try very much to live in the now, don't dwell on the past or look too far in to the future.

I suppose I have a few hopes and plans for the upcoming year but not really resolutions as such.

• I aim to stay well and hopefully become a little fitter
• Become more creative, trying new techniques and taking on new challenges
• Visit as many places as possible
• Enjoy celebrating the Girlguiding UK Senior Section Centenary
• Teach my fiancé to cook

Happy New Year!
