I'm a little late in joining Silverpebble's splash of colour but I'm missing the rich colours that we had in autumn and the sparkle of Christmas time so a little splash of colour is a very welcome thing.

 

My little splash is a colourful jar of new micro buttons ready for sewing onto bunny clothes (just need to make the bunnies now!). There's lots of lovely bright and cheerful images over on the flickr group.

Thanks for all of the good wishes over Christmas. Toby did find it very hard this year but there were some fun times with family and friends. We're slowly clicking back into our familiar and comforting term-time routines here and there is at last a little knitting time creeping back into my days. While I continue to settle back into day to day stuff I thought I'd leave you with some of the things that made me smile in 2010…

What were your happiest parts of last year and do you have any resolutions or hopes for this one? My only resolution for 2011 is to step into each day and look for the best in it, to let the past go and not to worry about the future. Anyway, whatever your hopes and dreams for this year, I wish you a happy and healthy year.

I'm signing off for the rest of the Christmas break – keeping my little lovelies occupied and reigning in Amy's increasing excitement is now a full time job. I just wanted to wish you and those you love a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy start to 2011.

Hope to see you in the new year x
