Christmas on the mind...

I have been totally waylaid by my entries for the Holiday Softie Awards http://softiescentral.typepad.com/blog/. All the entries are absolutely stunning, I just marvel at the creativity of people. The whole thing has got me feeling all Christmasy, and the nights really feel like they are drawing in.

Tonight we went for a walk down the Royal Mile (The street that links Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace) and in the soft night it could easily have been a couple of hundred years ago. We then headed into Arthur's seat and just gloried in the night air. Sometimes the world still seems magical.

and a little robin

 

All this means I have neglected the Instant Gratification Crochet page... I am a very bad girl. The good news is that the Robin will be included in the set. I am writing up the patterns and they should be on-line in the next couple of days. So keep an eye out!

You make the most beautiful creatures.

Your work is amazing! I have only just come across your blog and am so happy to find such an inspirational and interesting site. I love the robin and hope to use your pattern when it becomes available. I now live in Vancouver, Canada where the robin is more the size of a British blackbird, but still miss my tiny, friendly British robin.
Thank you for sharing.

Wow! I love your work! I am inspired to try working some of your patterns. I love to crochet, but don't have the patience for afgans, and how many scarves can you really have! Your projects have real potential for me. Glad I found you!

Is that a lamb/sheep?? It is adorable! Is the pattern for that available?? I have the *perfect* person in mind for that.
