HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

 Well here we go into another New Year , now my hubby loves the turn of of the year and  gets excited .

But I get a little sad seeing another year pass , not sure why but I get a little tearful.

I try and get into a joyful mood , and always stay up to see the New Year in .

I think the reason is I am a one year older and I need to slow the clock down ha  , but  mostly I think backwards about all the lost family and friends  that are not with us any more and that starts me off feeling tearful .

But it is the time of year I think backwards  .

Now New Years Day is different !  I think forward  I am excited to sort out a new design to  add to my others , but  that can turn into many ! and not just one ha. Then I get excited when my hubby and I plan the garden out and plan decorating the house .

There is always lots to do each year .

I have already planned out my stitching this will be much the same as last year  with new ones added .

Jo asked me so show a few of my books this year I do have alot so will show you a few this year .

                                       ----------------------------------------------------

I would like to get 3 large ones finished this year if I can , but I will not pressure myself  .

So here is the first UFO of the year I worked on last week but just a few stitchies a day 

all helps for it to grow .              This was a SAL by Maryse , from a couple of years ago . 

                                            The material is a lemon colour but it's so dull here today

   I found this in a CS mag a few years ago and thought oh yes I must stitch this I like the 3D  on two of the butterflies .

So just started  this one it is  a  creamy lemon material   would you believe , but it is so dull here again today.

  

                                       I started kitting a scarf thanks to Dany .

                                     A bit slow but I knit watching the news .

                                                        This weeks book is ? 

 

                                               And inside are some really lovely charts 

Now I will warn you I have many many books you may ask why , well I lived so close to David & Charles  a few years ago , and it's a good job they have now moved , because my friend and I would go once a week and come home with a  bag full some just a couple of pound because of a little damage , that most times you could not notice .  We also live near to Trago also a great place for cheap books . But lately they are going up in price.

Well my friends thank you for your friendship . Thank you for your kindness .

Thank you for all the lovely gifts and cards  . So many hand made ones .

Have a wonderful year , and I look forward to see what you have stitched and finished in 2022.

So lets go for a bumper year of stitching . So bring ob 2022.
