First post of the New Year with new freebie kit

 Hello and a rather late happy New Year :) 

I hope you are well . We are in our 3rd lockdown here in UK and it seems the covid numbers are finally starting to come down a bit. Lockdown certainly doesn't bother me and not much has changed for me. I work as normal and don't suffer from any lockdown boredom .Rather the opposite.... 

So far I have been taking it slowly with new creations. I have been taking the time to go through my stash of patterns , tutorials etc and trying to decide which ones to tackle the next coming months and this year. 

One of my resolutions for this year was to try something new .

So I got myself a latch hook kit and will work on that in between some other already started projects from last year. 

The temperature has gone down at the coast here , so I got this new hat ready in time to wear while I'm out and about. 
I used the new Lion Brand "Hue and me" yarn for this and it's an absolute pleasure to work with ! 
I also purchased some new yarn from Bergere de France , called Recyclene. 

Bergere state: 
An extra-chunky, round yarn made entirely from fibres that have been recycled in Bergère de France's own manufacturing units. Recyclaine has been designed with the environment in mind and complies with professional quality standards. 



Let's see what I can make with this :) 

Last year I have neglected nature photography , so I'm happy to say that the first picture I took this year was the moon peeking through the trees , on my way home from work early in the morning. 

I used to take a lot of pictures during my travels, but with having to stay in and no travel it's kind of hart to get nice images. So let's see what I can find close to home for the time being. 
I'm slowly getting used to the new graphic program and almost finished a new kit. It still needs a few more elements , but the papers are all done. 

I have only 4 shifts left to work and then I will be off work on "staycation " for 2 weeks , and will finish it then and hope to get a few more crafty things done as well. 

And now to the new freebie kit. 

Winter Tranquillity is actually not a new "new" kit. Part was a freebie before on my old website years ago and the other part was a store kit. Now the complete kit will be a freebie. 
Here the previews







And here the first download links

Elements

All together there will be 5 parts for this kit again. Yeah ,I know.... I don't seem to have very many small kits 😁

Enjoy and stay healthy ! Don't let the nasty virus catch you .  Mask up , stay 2 metres apart and wash your hands. Oh yes, and  stay in and be creative . 
Till next time 
Hugs Snowy 💓

Hi, there, toots! LOL Long time! I woke up thinking about you. I do hope all is well.
You're really rocking the crafty stuff! Beautiful work, too!
Got some disappointing news on my condition. I'm currently trying to recoup and keep going. I've been so positive, but, it is waning.
Anyone new in your life? How's your son? I don't go on FB much anymore. It's a shame so many art sites are there! Photoshop Artistry and it's companion courses, Kaizen and AWAKE, are my main groups and they are all there.
I returned to 'real-life art', as opposed to digital, for a while. Been creating 'junk journals' for kicks and to pass the time. Follow a slew of artists on YT.
Here's to 2021! Hopefully, it will be better than '00!
Blessings to you, dear one. Kind of miss those old, 'simpler' times. LOL
Love ya, lady!

Oh with that new kit you have you could actually make a new carpet isn;t it? Takes some time but it is funny to do. I remember I've done something like this many many years ago.

Here too we have almost complaete lockdown, it doesn;t bother me too much, I can do grocerie shopping, but sometimes it is akward not being able to go to a store for things you might need. Like now with the curtains, I don;t like doing it on line, must see and feel the stuff LOL.

I'm just knitting a little bit, must finish a project, then we'll see what I can fnd to do.

Stay crafty, stay by all means safe, sending you a big hug

Hi Snowy, I'm in almost a complete lock down except for Dr. appointments and a hair cut every 2 or 3 months. Orders from the Home Nurse and my 2 Daughters. I do the grocery shopping on line at Walmart and it's picked up by one of the two or I can also get a home delivery, right to my front door. Just another noise for my little dog to bark at. Yesterday she tried to bite the Nurse when she was taking my vitals. She thinks they are hurting me, I warn them ahead of time and maybe after a couple of days she'll understand it isn't torturing me. But they like to send a different nurse almost every day. I'm sure she'll get over this. Any suggestions.
Thank you very much for the new kit. Now to find a good picture of my little Chihuahua to put in it.

Hugs, Corrine
