 Good morning all! 

Well, it's been another busy week 

I have been gift making but can't share them in case my friends are peeping.

So I have been sorting my Christmas bits and bobs and came across a box with some of my old cards, sent by my lovely friends and family who always make their own beautiful cards.

They are just too nice not to save. What do you do with your special cards? As you can see, I framed the tiny cross stitch that Jan made for one of my cards. It sits on my sewing room windowsill.

I love squeezing in a bit of crafting time in between all the build up to Christmas activities .

I managed to make a few little gift tags to pop on my gifts. It's just strips of my left over fabrics spritzed up with a bit of gold machine embroidery.

I have now cleaned up all the snippy, thready mess in my sewing room. 

It looks quite respectable but won't last the day! I shall be back snipping and sticking in every spare moment. It's good for the mind.😀

Well that's it for this week 

I hope you are all enjoying your pre Christmas fun.

 Welcome to our first Wednesday desk share of 2023. I hope you are all well and looking forward to all the exciting times a new year will bring.

I packed away all my Christmas things on Monday but wanted to share all the lovely handmade cards that I received this time.....

So much time and effort spent on each one.

My favourite was this lovely winter sunset over Snowdon. It was beautifully needle felted by my clever daughter Tilly Tea Dance. I think she is designing a workshop on sunsets so I may have to give it back so that she can use it as a sample!

 My task this week is to make up about 25 workshop packs for her so I will be busy in the sewing room. Hopefully we can find time for a staff meeting too, to discuss plans for 2023. I love the thought of planning a year of activities to help Tilly develop her business. Here's hoping for another brilliant year.

Have a good week.
