February One - Here is some lovely 100% wool fabric and a pattern I brought last winter and have been meaning to sew into a skirt. February One saw all the pieces cut out and ready to roll for February Two.

February Two - completed. This particular skirt pattern has convinced me that a skirt with pockets is a truly brilliant thing. I’m prepared to burden my hips with the illusion of extra inches in exchange for the handy storage. Plus, wool pockets make for cozy hands - bring on cold winter days!

February 3
My friend Sophie - also partaking in thing-a-day - visited me on Sunday from Dunedin and we had just enough time to indulge in a little craft together.  Here are two monkeys i finished off. One for my Stitch n’ Bitch friend Kellie and the other for the ever growing collection of homeless monkeys at my house.

I feel giddy with excitement knowing we are but one sleep away from February first.

I do hope to indulge in some fresh creative stuff this month but most of all I’d like to tackle my UFO colleciton - that’s UnFinished Objects.

My heart will always belong to the traditional/domestic arts but I’m easily influenced and often flirt with other creative tools including the paint brush and the computer.

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand and look forward to working with. Yes, you.
