Thanks enormously for all of the kind, supportive and very lovely messages about my last post. I suppose I was seeking a bit of external validation to help solve my quandry – your feedback definitely helped! I like how etsy is working out so far- there’s a lot less involvement for me which means more knitting time (YAY!) and as Mama Urchin so kindly pointed out it is possible to subscribe to an RSS feed which is like getting an alert when anything new is added.

I do like how Vicki described my situation as a ‘hobby gone wild’ it’s a perfect description of the way things have snowballed to slightly overwhelming proportions. I think if things were less intense on the home front I’d have jumped on that snowball and enjoyed the ride. I’d have taken up the book offers, the chance to appear on tv with my cakes (kept that one quiet didn’t I!) and the other wonderful opportunities that have come my way but I don’t have the drive anymore – just a longing for calm and quiet! Getting old you see!

Anyway, nuff about all that and on to some knitting!

This week I’ve been in a mood for tiny things and have been making lots of teeny tiny toys and some snacks for them too! If you’d like to make your own tiny cake the instructions are now over with the pattern for the teeny toys.

I like the idea of making a few for Amy’s friends, maybe with a little sleeping bag each or in a wee box. This lot are just awaiting their limbs – poor things look like little peanuts!
