Back In The Saddle!

After a summer of many visitors (with all the extra cooking and washing that seems to entail), a bout of ill health, including a hospital stay, an interstate class and the annual string music camp, things are finally starting to settle into a more normal routine.......whew!

Here is a special order Zozie doll I finally got completed and sent off:

And here are the unfinished projects I'll be working on over the next little while (in between visits to the GP and cardiologist and the odd test or three!)

Putting Things Together

Here are a couple of starts for pieces I hope to finish this week. As you can see, I like to start by assembling all the component parts to work things out before I finally put them together. It's quite a long process sometimes.........I find that I need to try different things and mull over them for a few days before achieveing the final picture that I have in my mind.

 And these are yummy little parcels made with a savoury filling of spinach and tomatoes (from the garden, naturally!) with pine-nuts, garlic, onion, herbs and feta all wrapped in puff pastry and baked.....kind of Greekish, but I couldn't get filo pastry, so I improvised!

What I'm Working On

Here's what was on my table waiting to be worked on when I came into the studio this morning:

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and left a comment on my OWOH post - there is still a bit of time left before I draw the winner of my doorprize - all you have to do is leave a comment on that post (find it below) if you want to be in the running and some way that I can contact you.

What great fun it has all been! I've met a whole bunch of talented people with exciting blogs in my OWOH blogcrawl.......just wish I had a bit more time to indulge!

Thanks also to all my new followers!
