Long time no see

Things have been a bit all over the place here so I had to vanish for what seems like ages.  Fingers crossed, touch wood etc I should be back to crafting now and hopefully posting again!  Ihave got to that awful part of making my flower cushion that is "the ends".  There are what seems like hundreds of them to sew in and I keep on putting it off.  I've started a new knitting project, a pumpkin hat, which I am hoping to finish in the next few weeks.  For Ravelry peeps I am using this pattern for the hat, but am doing the leaves and stem both in green.
