Good grief...

...where did the end of 2013 go?

I saw these guys chilling out over Christmas and it pleased me no end.

I have a couple of posts to go up over the next week and I've just started a bookbinding course, but I don't have any long term plans for this blog. 2014 might be the year I put it on ice. We'll see what it brings.

Bow-tie

I needed an orange bow-tie for a costume party I'm attending in December. Obviously there are many serviceable and affordable versions available to buy, but while I was looking for wool for another project I uncovered a large piece of orange fabric left over from my course. It was supposed to have been yellow, but I'd dyed it for too long and then set it to one side thinking it would come in useful for something else. Here was that opportunity! I would make my own bow-tie and save myself £4.
