Happy Times

Christmas is upon us; a time for celebration and reflection with family, friends and neighbours.  It is also the start of our long summer holidays.  And don’t we have some fond memories of those times!  As I write though, I remember how exciting 2004 was for us – a new start in many ways.  Given that December is a cool month in some parts of the world (and we’re so not used to that!), we took a trip with a difference… There was certainly no snow involved in this trip! (Read more about our Egypt trip on Textile Tourist.)

Can you believe it's 10 years ago....
Sadly, recent events in Australia (2014) have highlighted that it can be a stressful time too.  Our thoughts go out to those affected by these events and to the amazing support organisations that work selflessly during these busy, demanding times.

Season’s Greetings to my fellow stitchers and I hope you manage a little one-on-one time with your fabrics and sewing projects.
