Back again already, who would have believed it!

Yes believe it or not I;m back with another post already. Finally over the Christmas and New Year holidays we have enjoyed some relaxing family time. We were all spoiled with so many beautiful gifts and thank you to all my dear stitching friends who brightened my day with all those gorgeous stitched and home-crafted gifts. I hope everyone has enjoyed the holidays.
As I haven;t stitched for a few months I was rather worried as I thought my mojo had gone walk about. I took out two wips did a few stitches in both but just couldn;t get enthused at all. I left it a few days then decided I needed a new project. I;ve started on awww shhhh can;t tell...lol, it;s a gift for someone who follows my blog. It;s sooo pretty and it really has got my mojo back in gear. So much so I;ve set up a blog for anyone who would like to join me in a Christmas ornament SAL.  Like many people I always tell myself I;m going to start early and make lots off Ornaments for my tree and gifts for friends and family but Christmas always sneaks up on me and I don;t get any finished on time. Each month I am going to stitch a different theme. I will post my chart, threads and fabric and my progress as I go along. If you would like to come join me just send an email and I will give you access to post. You can join in as often or as little as you like. Go on come play with me....
