It's been very windy and the rain hasn't really halted for 24 hours

In Kincardne we've escaped relatively unscathed

Not so where our oldest daughter lives

The town centre

The bottom of the road where she lives

Christmas

And breath....... It's all over for another year

Christmas Eve filled with laughter, happiness and love

Christmas Day was breakfast with DD2 son-in-law and the kids

Meal with dad, DD1 and son-in-law

Boxing Day relaxing, sewing, reading, watching Blacklist and eating

Now its tidying my sewing room it's a wreck

Time Consuming..... But

I will enjoy every minute of this project

It may take a while

There are 9 embroideries in the Simply Blessed range

They are then joined together using patchwork

I intend to do that but in a more suitable pattern to my personality using Lynette Anderson fabric

I am on embroidery number 3 using Cottage Garden thread which is hand dyed and variegated

Chris the lovely lady from Braidcrafts in New South Wales Australia helped source enough thread from the same dye lot so the embroideries would have same thread throughout. Her kindness shows no bounds.

Relax and sew girl! Relax and sew!
