I think you can tell from the above pictures that March was a very food heavy month here at The Little Red Squirrel, I think all the travelling I've been doing has been making me long for my own kitchen so I can bake away to my heart's content!

This month has flown by so quickly, some of my blogging highlights are:

*Adventuring on my Two Days Off*

*My first ever "what's in my bag?" post*

and as always here's an update on my two ongoing projects:

24 Things Before I'm 25 - Update

I started my Bombshell Dress! It may be a while before it's finished but at least I've taken the first few steps :)

I taught myself how to Crochet!

I saw Florence + the Machine in Concert, and she was incredible!!

UFO/Stash Busting Project - Update

I made a New Girl inspired dress decorated with some pretty nifty piping.

I finished a cute little cross-over bed jacket that I've had on the go for about 3 years

Thank you all so much for your continued support of this blog, I can't believe I have nearly 200 followers! When I reach 200 I definitely think some kind of giveaway is in order :) Here's to another month of brilliant blogging!

Once again it's been a great month at The Little Red Squirrel, I've had more page views than ever before and have some lovely new readers too, so welcome! I hope you are enjoying what you see here as much as I enjoy putting it all together :)

Highlights of this blogging month for me are:

*I'd just like to say... growing up is optional*

*My first ever tutorial: A Perfectly Personal Valentine*

*Organising the first UFO/Stash Busting Project Monthly Round Up*

And now an update on my two current projects:

24 Things Before 25 - Update

I visited the Pottery Painting Cafe in Brighton and made egg cups!

I created and post my very own tutorial, and I can't wait to do some more :)

UFO/Stash Busting Project - Update

I finally completed my Swing Dress, one of my oldest UFOs.

I finished the epic challenge that was knitting my own dressing gown, and I love it so much!

Thank you so much for reading my blog this month, it's been a good one, and hopefully March will be even better :) Onwards and upwards!

This has been a great month in the world of The Little Red Squirrel, I feel like I've started 2012 with a bang!

*The blog got a make over*

*I vowed to do 24 special things before I turn 25*

*I celebrated my 1st blogiversary!*

*I started my UFO/Stash Busting Project*

And now for an update on the progress of my two big projects:

24 Things Before 25 - Update

Had my first special family day with my gorgeous mum

I started my UFO/Stash Busting Project

I started the great purge of 2012 and visited the Pottery Painting cafe in Brighton (more on these very soon!)

I started an amazing e-course at A Beautiful Mess, seriously, it's incredible!

UFO/Stash Busting Project - Update

I completed my 1950s knitted shrug, both a UFO and a Stash Buster (thank you for all your lovely comments by the way! I'm so thrilled you like it!)

I have started work again on one of my oldest UFOs, let's just say it may have thought that it defeated me, but I'm back with a sewing vengeance!

I hope that your Januarys were filled with adventures, I can't wait to see what February has in store!
