Hello Again (& ☀Sunlit Sunday Soon)

Hello again. It's been a very long while since I've posted. I spend a fair amount of time on my laptop for some volunteering I'm doing and I was getting a wee bit tired of looking at the screen. Hence, my lengthy absence from blogging. Then, I told myself I needed to update my header to reflect the winter season and to start visiting blogs again before I posted something. Phooey to that, here I am, wishing you a Happy New Year with springtime blooms in the header. C'est la vie!

To catch up a bit, here is the finished knitting project that I hinted at months ago. This little girl is one of the mice from Mary Jane's Tearoom. I haven't made a toy before and I know I have a couple of things I'd do a bit differently, but any little blunders are completely my own fault and certainly not that of the wonderful pattern.

It was a fun project! I find myself perching this mouse around the house.

Currently, she is sitting on my desk to act as a reminder that I want to be more creative and make things in 2016. I'll have to think about that and figure out some plans.

Speaking of plans, a few people have emailed and asked if ☀ Sunlit Sunday would be running again this winter. Since there is a some interest, let's start it up again this coming weekend. I'll put up a post at 8 pm (Eastern Standard Time) on Saturday evening and we'll see who drops by to add a link to their sunlit post. For those who are unfamiliar with ☀Sunlit Sunday, the details are below. All are welcome to join in and help brighten up the winter months, even if it isn't winter in your part of the world.

2. All photos must be your own or used with the express permission of the photographer.
