I'm 50. This is my Gap Year!

Remember me?

Back to my blog, at long last. I had stopped briefly, or so I thought, before Christmas so that I wouldn't blog about everyones Christmas presents and then I woke up one morning and it was March. where does the time go? I was very busy in the sewing room over Christmas and stuck to my guns about making all my gifts this year. My favourite had to be the little santa triangle men, I made so many of them that my sewing shop kept an updated tally every time I went in to buy more fabric. 

A few of my favourite things.

Family presents are always tough, do you buy the whole family a boring household gift or just give the parents a bottle of wine, then again you could just buy a trumpet for the 3 year old and bless the whole family with music. I decided to make Christmas stockings and personalise them with the names of family members and pets. I love the embroidery function on my Bernina artista, so easy, even an adult with few computer skills could use it.

Stockings, hung with care.

Lastly, for this "Welcome Back"blog, I will post a photo of my latest project and see if anyone can guess what I am making. I will save my knitting, sewing shop news and infinity scarf pattern for my next blog. Yes...you doubting Thomas crew, there will be a next blog!
