It's almost Halloween, so Pumpkin humpty has come alive! He's already found an ally in Poppy the black cat. I'm wondering what mischief they have planned for tomorrow night?

Undiscovered Voices
This is the drawing I made in August for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators "Undiscovered Voices" competition: I had great fun making the drawing - those are my own casually discarded boots on the floor!
Congratulations to the eight lucky shortlisted illustrators: Kim Geyer, Jennifer Graham, Julia Groves, Amber Hsu, Heather Kilgour , Shana Nieburg-Suschitzky, Nicola Patten, and Rachel Quarry. I'm looking forward to seeing their interpretations of "Undiscovered Voices" in December, when the six winners will be announced.

Cranford knit-a-long September 2011: finished mitts
Here are the completed Cranford mitts: I actually began knitting the darker pair in April ie before I broke my finger! Then while the finger was healing I decided to put the mitts on hold, lest my guage knitting the new-fangled English style was different to my life-long continental style knitting. So, it feels a mile stone in the healing process to have completed this pair of mitts : )
