Happy New Year!

I hope that you all had a good Christmas - and I want to wish you a very happy, productive and fulfilling New Year! I have a huge garden, but not many colourful flowers at the moment.  So I decided to go with the green and decorate my dining table for the New Year with what I could find: 
 
It's been good to have some days at home with not much to do, but enjoy my Christmas Gifts, catch up and tidy up. I am loving these pegs from Sprigs and this beautiful pottery jug from a stall at the i♥market [Can't remember the name] 
I've had some time to tidy my studio and was surprised to see how many 'mending kits' I had thrown into my drawers!
And I am enjoying this colour coded view of the bottom drawer of my desk:
Probably won't stay like this for very long - but it's beautiful now!

And a very happy and productive year to you too!
The white and green is very soothing. (Yesterday I wore a green T-shirt for new-ness and growth in this year.)

The colours are gorgeous. I have one very special mending kit dating back to ... 1977ish! (-;

So pretty! I think you've inspired me to get some late winter chives started inside to add a touch of spring to my living room! And I have just the milk glass pot to hold them! Thanks for the New Year's inspiration!
