A problem on the forum with people unable to access it due to yuku upgrades etc and other issues so quite a few hadn't seen each others and the reveal of who sent to whom in this secret exchange was delayed. There have then been problems with our local server getting updates to make it smoother running - we'll see about that one, and if you can get online its been a bit hit and miss or throws you off just as you are doing something.
This morning all seems well and I've been able to upload pics so here you are - this is the one I received from Tina (no blog). The perfect design for me, thank you Tina.
I made a double sided one for Clare using the Lizzie Kate 12 Blessings designs and added a rouched trim. I also sent some Christmas choccie in my parcel (you can see that in Clare's pic on her blog)
In my last post I mentioned the Joyful World SAL October was near complete. It is now....
December 1st the gallery opened for the winter SAL. The fourth and final one in my collection from here is all ready to be put up on 21st December when the winter solstice arrives with the shortest daylight hours of the year.
Better sign off now whilst the going is good as they say and the internet is still playing nicely.
I hope your Christmas preparations are going well and not causing you too much stress. We had a little pre-Christmas meal with family who live some way off this weekend as we wont meet again till the New Year.
Blessings to you all
Julie
Lovely stitching....and finishing.
