Well what can I say except I have been meaning to write this post for ages and never got round to it as they say sooo before any more of the year disappears voila … my first post of the year …
Christmas passed in a blur of stitching sewing and only having two days off but we did have a lovely time and I got some gorgeous presents to boot too .. all my gifts arrived safely to their new owners and the last one took over three weeks to get to the other side of the pond … I thought I must of sent it via the sea rather than air mail ..lol
Harrogate was fab btw, got some nice goodies and then became rather poorly and ended up having a few days off from work due to it … I got that horrible nasty viral thingy that was going round and it got worse while I was off .. typical and I am only just feeling that I have got rid of it after 3mths !!!!
Any way on to much nicer things .. have you got your brews and your cookies ??? I think there is even some Christmas cake left in the cupboard too …
This year has started off well with two finishes so far, three more new starts and more in the pipe line … I am trying to kit up things that I have got or bought with what is in the mouse house with as I put it, as near as dammit colours hehhehh.. quite fun really choosing .. I am aiming to stitch at least one or two ornaments a month so that one day I will have a full Christmas tree of hand made ornaments as well as get my SALs finished and my wips worked on, with a few new must starts in there as well … wish me luck ..lol

Wow! Great gifts given and received, and what a haul from Harrogate too!
Sorry to hear you weren’t well but sooo glad to hear you are better now.
Your stitching plan sounds ideal, Mouse, good luck with it!
What a catch up!
Hope you have a wonderful New Year!

You have been a busy mouse ,love all your gifts given out and received .
Sorry you have been unwell, I have this virus too , can't shake it off.
Happy New year .
This virus is real nasty, glad to read you are all mended and feeling better.
What a lot of lovely pics on this first post of the year... filled full of delights and pretties.
Wow, Ms. Mouse! What a catch up!! So glad you had a good time at Harrogate...and yet another year I haven't made it...*sigh* I'm amazed at how much you get done, even while feeling yucky! I'm sorry you were sick for so long, but glad you are feeling better now! You've made some beautiful bags (and I feel really lucky that you made one for me too...thank you so much!!) So glad you liked your goodies I sent! Lovely stitching, as always! *Hugs*
Hope you are feeling better. You sent and received some wonderful goodies. So pleased you had a good time at Harrogate.
Hope 2019 is a great stitchy year for you Mouse, and that you feel better soon :) Wonderful gift exchanges, glad you had fun at Harrogate - it sounds like such a great show!
So many beautiful gifts received and given! There are so many different crafts, they're all wonderful. You certainly know to keep busy and make lots of friends happy!
What a wonderful post of beautiful gifts. I love the tree with all the ornies hung from it, great way to display them all.
Sorry to hear that you've been poorly for so long, hope the cold weather has frozen all the germs away.
If not, then I hear that Birthday Cake is very good for colds!
Such lovely stitching and finishing.
Hopefully you will continue to be well in this colder weather.
Love all those beautiful gifts !
Hope you feel better soon.
