Helllooooooo everyone …. Happy New Year 2019 may you be blessed with lots of stitchy and crafty time :)
Well what can I say except I have been meaning to write this post for ages and never got round to it as they say sooo before any more of the year disappears voila … my first post of the year …
Christmas passed in a blur of stitching sewing and only having two days off but we did have a lovely time and I got some gorgeous presents to boot too .. all my gifts arrived safely to their new owners and the last one took over three weeks to get to the other side of the pond … I thought I must of sent it via the sea rather than air mail ..lol
Harrogate was fab btw, got some nice goodies and then became rather poorly and ended up having a few days off from work due to it … I got that horrible nasty viral thingy that was going round and it got worse while I was off .. typical and I am only just feeling that I have got rid of it after 3mths !!!!
Any way on to much nicer things .. have you got your brews and your cookies ??? I think there is even some Christmas cake left in the cupboard too …
This year has started off well with two finishes so far, three more new starts and more in the pipe line … I am trying to kit up things that I have got or bought with what is in the mouse house with as I put it, as near as dammit colours hehhehh.. quite fun really choosing .. I am aiming to stitch at least one or two ornaments a month so that one day I will have a full Christmas tree of hand made ornaments as well as get my SALs finished and my wips worked on, with a few new must starts in there as well … wish me luck ..lol
Ok do you want to see my goodies I sent out ??? as well as my goodies received ??
here goes
hmmmmm I seem to be missing Butterflies other bag I made her … must try and find where it has disappeared too ..lol but will leave that till next time as there are an awful lot of photos here hehehehe …. DH has just brought me another brew down soooo I think that may be a hint to finish this … until next time , take care one and all and happy stitching to you :) love mouse xxxxxx
