Hi Guys, you may of noticed I've been out the blogging loop, i've not even being doing much sewing, yes shock horror I know, Truth is I was waiting for scan results and news if they were going to operate again, well results and I'm ok for at least the next 3 months, then there will be more blood tests and we'll go from there.
I love packages, I bet you do too, somehow they are slightly more exciting when they are airmail, I think it has something to do with distance, this one is from Australia.
From the lovely Fiona over at Bubzrugz, Fiona emailed me and asked if I would like some wool felt, yes pleased I said and here it is.
Just look at all those lovely colours. Thank you so much Fiona, you have made my day.
You gals out there in sewing blogland have been so welcoming, I'm having a great time, I love telling you all what I am up to and marvelling at what you are all making, long may it continue.
Good morning, I've woken up to the white world of snow, it is snowing while I type, if you are going out be careful.
This last week or so I have been flitting around the blogging world and I am seeing there are things going on, lovely things to join, so I thought I would do a little post about them.

Joy over at Welcome to Daisy Rowis hosting a Springtime and Easter swap. you can join now and the closing date is 31st January 2013, Joy will match you up with a swap partner and notify you on the 1st February 2013, this gives you time to work out what they like , and then you fill your tub with lots of Spring/Easter Themed goodies, it sounds like a lot of fun and I do hope you join in.
