Not much going on at the moment, other than trying to stay dry & safe. I have to say where we are we have been quite lucky, despite living so near to the coast. The lane where we live is flooded at the beginning as is the lane to the main road. But here at home we have had very large & sometimes deep puddles, but that is all. The trees have stayed upright, although it was quite hairy watching them bend in the high winds. Must get them topped when the weather calms down a bit & if the tree surgeon isn't too busy!!!! Not finished any bears so far this week, although there are two WIP.
Stay safe, warm & dry wherever you are.

Well we're all still here. Lot's of surface water & very blowy but everything is still standing!!! It would appear it's not over yet as they are forecasting more rain & heavy winds!!!

Battening down the hatches for the storm that is supposed to hit us later. Finding it hard to believe as beautiful sunshine at the moment!!!!

Kitty is another little 5.5" bear made from the same pattern as Daisy Mae & Peony. I just love these small bears, they just seem to have so much character.

Well despite all the high winds last night, we are still in one piece. Trees still standing, greenhouse, sort of standing. That unfortunately has taken quite a battering this winter, so really will have to take the decision this summer to take it down completely I think. Anyway the sun is now shining so look's like it could be a nice day. Got to finish the decorating sometime soon, it seem's to have gone on forever!!!!

Maisie is a 5" mohair mouse. One of two I made a couple of years ago. They both went to a shop in Arundel, where Monty the boy mouse was adopted, but left poor Maisie on her own. The shop then closed down & a friend who works in Arundel rescued her for me & then she eventually made her way back to me.

Been trying to decide which classes to enter for the I/NTBAA competition. There is a wide variety of classes....certainly enough to get the creative juices flowing. Trouble is, this year I am going to have to be in with the "big guns", having been placed third in the novice class last year I am no longer eligible for that class now.
And what a lovely morning it is this morning....no rain & the sun is shining. I was beginning to think I might be better off with webbed feet!!!! Make the most of today, probably be raining again tomorrow!!!!!
