A few years I go I started a January tradition of looking at projects that I had started sometime in the past, but have yet to finish. Last year I did not do this. I had stitched so little over the previous couple of years that I thought it was a waste of time, and… Read More
Whew! Today has been a busy one. Taking kids to various events – one to the hairdresser, another to a party and the 3rd to work – kept me out of trouble all morning!

They shall not grow old as we who… Read More
A time for families. Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter….
