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
