All the news and a freebie

This blog post is a dogs breakfast.

I want to tell you our friend Cath is blogging again , and it makes me so happy. I had a look at my blog roll the other day and I wondered about those blogs that haven't posted in a year or so. I wonder why they stop,  and then I wonder if they miss it. I like that people leave their blogs available though. One day they might get discovered by an internet archaeologists (is there such a thing?) and they will be a little time capsule of someones life.

Have you heard of Reginald? The CAE portrait prize for softies?  

Are you going to enter ? This is a portrait of Cat-rabbit and Pip from Meet Me at Mikes that I borrowed from the Reggie blog. Everything you need to know is on the website and entries need to be in by early March, so there's still lots of time. There are heaps of reasons not to enter.... I don't have time, I can't think of who to make, I'm a lazy bumhead. But I have given myself a good talking to and realised that if everyone is a craft-hermit like me, then all this good stuff disappears, so yes I am entering !

I sent a freebie out with the January Newsletter

a cute little mushroom softie. If you are not a newsletter subscriber you can go and download a free copy from my shop on Craftsy. 

I am also having a sale in my Big Cartel Shop  until Wednesday morning. You need to use the code BACKTOSCHOOL to get 20% off everything.

I have looked at the calendar and I have a bucketload of teaching to share with you. I guess I'd better perform a bit of CPR on the classes page... and add it all there. (yep I'll be teaching these foxy friends)

Thanks for popping in folks, it's good to see you.
