Creations beginning again.

After a long summer of many little trips away to weddings and family holidays (my husband is a teacher and I work from home so we had the luxury of 6 weeks together) I didn't get much done so im enjoying going back to basics and playing with colour and stitches to see where it takes me. Hopefully this little guy will be part of a very cute dress/tunic to be worn with leggings.
A lot of people wouldnt complain about being away from home so much for summer but I feel totally out of practice now and like I've missed the busiest season! Anyone else feel the same? Or did summer bring time and inspiration to you?
