climbing out of the vortex



... hello everyone! I think I've finally managed to pull myself out of the Xmas / New Year spiralling vortex! Most of the food has been finally consumed (we had monstrous amounts to get through!!), I'm half way through a novel (a rare event in itself), I'm several kg's heavier (so NOT good), I have a temp job for the next month, and I'm ready for a truly brilliant year.

For Xmas I gave my partner the 'Best Friend Monster Mooks' (pictured above) figurine by Kim of ilovegreyskies - check out her wonderful Etsy shop. I fell in love with her anatomical Mooks ages ago, but when I saw these guys, I just knew where they belonged. The masks are removable, so M has been changing their position just a little every couple of days. If they are representative of us... I'm not sure who is who?!


And finally... thank you all so much for taking the time to follow this blog and leaving such encouraging and heart felt comments. It's been an absolute delight.
Wishing you all a sensationally fabulous 2011 (I'm going to start counting how many of the following words I use throughout the next 12 months: fabulous, lovely, sensational, gorgeous, wonderful, brilliant, marvellous, devine, incredible, beautiful!) - and I can't wait to endulge in a year of creations and posts from you all. Happy days.

This present is phantastic. For those of us being monster lovers (me) and all weird, strange and bizarre... just phantastic.
Looking forward to your 2011 posts!

Hi Helen,
I too am a proud owner of one of Kim's mooks, and I love your choice too. I am very much looking forward to seeing what you come up with this year, both your own artwork and the great finds that you make.
Happy 2011!
Sandra

Thank you so very very much everyone. Sincerest apologies for my absence. Hope you're all exceptionally well. Lovely to meet you Lyn, and yes Sandra W... I can't live without my thesaurus, though obviously I still struggle to find enough adjectives!!! Maybe I could start expressing in different languages. Sandra E, your anatomical Mook is divine... & thank you for a delightful Satdee arvo!! M LOVED the muffin - note there is no plural, as I ate the other 2 ;-)
