hello from the otherside...

I made it to the otherside, not entirely  unscathed but nothing too serious.  As promised here I am with some jug covers.

I know it's growing a little repetative but I am quite taken by them. I have never ever been so enamoured with something I've made before.

I am completely absorbed and entranced by them. When they're finished I have a little play with each one.

Did you ever see Pollyanna when you were a kid? Remember the moment when she holds up the crystal shard from the antique lamp and looks through it?

That's how I feel. I get excited by their tinkle against the jug. I get excited when I photograph them. I love looking at them.

I'm right about now (in five minutes) about to embrace my inner Pollyanna and see if I can't make some head and tail out of a jug cover pattern. I can feel my pulse quickening as I type. Tragic, huh?!

Happy new year to you and yours, lovely M.
