A Final Flourish for 2011
I'm finishing 2011 with a finish! They've been a bit thin on the ground this year so maybe stitching 2011 on Sunflower Bellpull back in November was a touch on the optimistic side. However I managed to get the last stitches in yesterday so no restitching was required.
I hope you all had a great Christmas, Father Christmas was good to me again this year bringing me several things off my wish lists. I was in a Secret Santa exchange with some friends and my Santa sent me Plum Street Samplers - Fruit of the Spirit & a piece of hand dyed fabric. I also got Blackbird Designs A Stitcher's Journey.
On the books front I got River Cottage Veg Everyday from which I've already earmarked a long list of recipes to try. I also got a couple of sewing books, Home Sewn by French General and Sewing for Boys by Shelly Figueroa and Karen LePage. Unfortunately Father Christmas forgot to leave me some time for crafting!
I hope that you all have a lovely New Year

You got lovely gifts as well. Hope you manage to find a bit of time to dig into all of this!
Your Sunflower Bellpull is gorgeous.
Great selection of books and stash you have there.
I got the River Cottage Veg book as well and love it.
What do you think of the French General book? Would you recommend it?
