a long time absent!

I was a bit shocked to realise exactly how long I have been away from blogging! Time passes so quickly, I spend too much time looking at everyone else's blogs and neglecting my own. So here's a bit of what I have done in my absence: This green top was supposed to be for September's Magam . Although it doesn't look like it!

I had to buy another panel and insert it under the bust and make the under collar/bust straps shorter. I was very disappointed about this as the result isn't really good at all, its ok under a cardigan to hide the new panel, so I suppose I may wear it occasionally. But now to something perfect!! My first grandaughter arrived in October, oooh she is so tiny and cute. This is me with my mum, daughter and 3 week old grandaughter - 4
