Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all - I'm sure this year will go just as quickly as the last one - a sign of getting older perhaps. 

Christmas Day was a bit of a mixed bag with my 6 year old granddaughter spending the day in hospital, so our family xmas lunch was a bit of a hurried affair in order to go to the hospital, but I did get to open my pressies, and I did want to show you these two gorgeous parcels I received.

A beautiful Christmas table runner from Noemia, my swap partner in Chookyblue's Secret Santa swap.

 


A closeup of the beautiful redwork stitchery centre of my new table runner. Thankyou Noemia for being my partner - my new runner is just beautiful.

I've been doubly spoilt - look at what I received from Maria

A beautiful old Meakin china plate - Maria I just love it - its so beautiful. I just love old china, so it will  be very much treasured.  Maria was my great partner in Cat's Advent Swap - this was my parcel to open on 25th December.  Have loved doing these wonderful Christmas swaps.

No time for any new sewing - have worked between xmas and New Year, all but the public holidays, so am pondering what to start next. There are things from last year I have started and need to get back to, but always tempting to start something new.  Decisions, decisions. Cheryl
