slowing down

We have really been enjoying the rhythm and the routine that has fallen back into place since Poe started back at school, even though we have had a few things on it feels like we have exhaled after such a wonderful and eventful holiday season. It feels really nice. Which kind of also explains my lack of blog time, being away from the computer and yes away from the camera is just what I need right now. It has given me some space to toy with some ideas for the year ahead; less market time, more sewing, a photography website and as Scott prepares to start recording his next album, cd cover ideas and film clip brainstorming has been flitting about my brain.

When I do sit in front of the computer, I don't tend to wander too far but it is beautiful looking about at my lovely blogging community and seeing all the wonderful and positive things folk are doing, folk who have made changes in the direction of their blogs, like here, or others who are doing big and exciting things like here and here, or just those ones who keep getting more passionate and more inspiring in everything they are doing, like here.

So although I haven't much recent goings on to share, I thought I would share some of the crafty and delicious goodness that we got into before Christmas.
The above Chocolate Almond Bark was absolutely delicious, it lasted a good while in the fridge but was so wonderfully moreish, a great treat to share with friends.

This is the necklace I made for Jen for Christmas, it looked so gorgeous on and was great fun to make.

 Poe designed and wove the above bag for Saul and drilled the necklace for Lily, although there were long moments of distraction, he was so proud of his finished products, as were Lily and Saul.

And Ilo chose to make some gorgeous little worry dolls for Lily and Saul.
