Is it too late for Happy New Year?

Is it too late to say 'Happy New Year'?

The school year started well, with both children back at school / college and me & Penny off for a bracing walk on the fell.

Unfortunately my Son wasn't well and spent a few days at home.

  

He doesn't have lots of time off due to his illness but if he is off its no Xbox or Computer.

(I am a bit mean but I don't think staying home from school should be lots of fun)

We had a few doctors / hospital appointments. But our days mainly involved completing  a couple of jigsaws and watching a lot of TV.

We did get out for some fresh air with Penny. 

On a more upbeat note, we did enjoy the opening of a new exhibition at Arteria in Lancaster, which features some of my animals.

The sewing machine has been out (a lot)

For Christmas my daughter got me a new phone case featuring Totoro from Studio Ghibli.

So I thought I'd make myself a new shopping bag to match! 

I've done more sewing. . . . . 

A couple of swans to order and a couple for my Folksy shop. 

Another order, for a new babies nursery.

I also scaled up my whale and using some denim made this lovely chap.

Perfect for a little boy!

I had a day at Lancaster University.

My Daughter had an interview and we spent the rest of the day in lectures.

(Its decades since I did my degree and one day in lectures and I was shattered)

I needed a bucket of tea when we eventually got home.

And today the last day of January 2020, I'm making triceratops!
