crafty part 2

Sometimes things don't go so easily. I have been working on the 'Ladybug' crafty panel since Thursday. I do a bit, print it out, scribble all over it and start again. Parts I'm happy with and they are looking fine, but this section has been reworked four or five times now.
I'm not usually one to make a fuss about New Years Eve (truth is I often fall asleep before midnight), but tonight we are going into the Royal Botanic Gardens. We have been invited to the Lord Mayor's NYE picnic and I'm just a little bit excited!
We were also invited to the Variety Club's Christmas Party at Darling Harbour this year but couldn't make it on the day. Jack had to have surgery and thoughts of everyting we had planned to do went straight from my head. I was so sad when we got home from the hospital a few days later and realised we'd missed it. It's probably the best kids party we have ever been to (we went a few years ago). Now that Jack has almost recovered from his little op (not his heart this time, thankfully), I'm thinking the party tonight will help us forget about what he's been through (and still to face). More about Jack here.
Happy New Year, and thanks for all the bloggy support of my designs this year.

how's jack, kristen? hope everything is okay...relieved to read it was nothing heart-related.
happy new year, dear friend! looking forward to another year of friendship over the keyboard, even if our meet-up doesn't work out this year!
