Happy New Year!
Not much to show and here's why...
After Christmas, instead of squishing the Christmas boxes back into the eaves that run along the length of our house I decided I could reduce everything by half and give myself some room to move! I emptied everything into my studio - lots of large memory boxes, trunks and old suitcases stuffed with memorabilia from in-laws to Great grandparents! And behind all that a huge collection of paintings by my mother and her father, probably 50% of them unfinished! I can see my desk across the workroom but can't actually get to it! The dining table downstairs is loaded with boxes being unpacked, 'halved' and re-packed. I obviously come from a long line of hoarders!
It has been an emotional roller coaster, a few of the boxes haven't been opened for years. I came across this old knitting pattern and small Sindy doll coat that I made with my Grandmother's help (or maybe she made it with a little help from me!) - I'd forgotten all about it but it has evoked such happy memories of her teaching me how to knit and crochet.
