A skunk with pink gloves

I am having a very relaxing holiday and Christmas was snuggly and amazing. I have finished the Munro Bag Tutorial; you can download it here:Download MunroBag.pdf. This bag is so simple I cant even really call it a tutorial! Think of it as a 2 second easy peasy guide.

I am working on a couple of animal projects and this is the first draft of a skunk. He still needs a fair bit of work... but I thought I would give him an airing.

still a bit shy...

These crocheted gloves were one of my favourite christmas presents, the back is the softest buttery leather.

Every time I see something crocheted in a shop I have to go and examine how it was made and these are just gorgeous. What can I say, deep down I have a flamboyant pink side!

I also got this beautiful set, handmade by the wonderful little green. She made them with a Japanese fabric and soft blue baby cord. The cosmetic bag was made using a tutorial from here http://smallhand.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_smallhand_archive.html#112473596029582231 (scroll down to August 24th) and the pin cushion was made using Planet June's tutorial, without the wrist strap or button, you can find it here http://www.planetjune.com/blog/offset-square-wrist-pincushion-tutorial/ . The rest was made up, but is pretty easy; just some rectangles. 

I have been trying to write a personal mission statement. I think sometimes it is easy to feel a bit lost, and like you don't really have any direction, so I hope it will help to focus my mind!

Your little skunk is so cute. What kind of yarn did you use? I love all your little animals.

Awww, what a cute skunk! I've been wanting to make one for ages - looks like you've beaten me to it :)

And I love that Japanese fabric in your gift set - so sweet!
