Various ramblings by the small hobbit

All very lovely - although I am particularly taken with the swan. I really like the water effect there.

Someone gave me a little stitch kit which I really want to try, but apparently I'm supposed to know how to do either a split or a chain stitch so I put it away in the drawer. I know youtube is my friend, but I need to be in the right frame of mind to take it in. I want to have a go, but also have hideous memories of needlework at school and being called a muttonhead by my teacher :D
