Gither .. ❤️






 I started Gither as I waited for my threads to arrive , using 0.75 hook and cotton I had in my stash , she’s taken me a week to do , very hard on my hands as she is a little larger than I would normally like , I soon realised I wanted to paint a box for her to live in ❤️ which gave me a perfect excuse for me to try out the paints I had for Christmas 

I’m so pleased with the results

On a Night Like this



 Gither Ogg would be rather impressed I chose a night like this to create her , it almost felt like The RamTops 


Last night , the wind howled , the rain lashed down , it was one of those nights it was good to be indoors , I was patiently waiting for my threads to arrive from Spicaartdoll,  checking the tracking , Monday or Tuesday I thought , so as I waited  , I fished out some of the other thread I had and as the wind  howled around the hills I started “ Gither “ she s quite impressed I chose a night like this ..it suited her character , I chose much finer yarn than Gwiami’s pattern called for . But I’m loving the challenge . Then would you believe it , there was a knock on the door and I couldn’t believe my eyes Spicaartdoll ‘s delicious yarns arrived , beautifully packaged , which I will use in my art journal ..this is one New Year’s resolution I’m loving ❤️
