Horace!

Finally finished Horace Bear!  The pattern was given to me in the summer and I began to knit him, but only just bought the plastic filling pellets to weight him down and the eyes.  I finished him on Saturday when I should have been cleaning the house.  The pattern is by Angela Hone and can be found on her website http://www.bearsunited.co.uk, along with lots of other Horaces.  The yarn was a christmas present from my sis about three years ago, and was rather annoying to knit and sew up, but I'm pleased with the results.  I know his nose looks red, but it is actually brown!

43 years old minus six days and counting

Well, here we are, my first attempt at blogging!  Goodness only knows where it will lead me.  In six days time I shall be the ripe old age of 43, and so this is my fist foray into the wonderful world of the blog.
