Month: December 2015

wow, this year has gone by so quickly!! (I guess we all say that!) I did want to get back here to wish you all a Merry Christmas but I got caught up in all the prep as all my family were coming to my house this year. What an exercise that was! But it was fun too!

I hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you all the best for 2016, I hope to have a lot of fun again in 2016 and hope you have time for friends, family and of course stitching!!

Coming in April 2016, my new book with Martingale..

enjoy your New Year Celebrations!!

see you in 2016

cheers
