I won!

Back in mid-December I was fortunate enough to win a giveaway from Barbara of To Stitch or Not to Stitch and just before the holiday I received not only the above goodies but others too. A cross-stitched bag, perfect for those small projects, a pair of crochet slippers, a chart with fabric and threads and lots of other bits. Thank you Barbara for your generosity.

The model for Sew Lavender is finished and I need to take a picture before it's release but the light is so bad as it's been raining for days. This, in turn, has brought on my SAD and I feel so low. Will the sun ever shine again? Will I ever sit in the garden with my stitching or a book? At least I have the AEF in Paris to look forward to - only 5 weeks to go and Kirby and I will be there - we are a little excited - can you tell?

I am going to work on Jane Rees later today - thank heaven for Ottlites and magnifiers!

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Hasn't the weather been terrible? The last time it was sunny here was Christmas Eve, 2 weeks ago now. Today we've had sleet but the weekend forecast is for sun - hope you get some too.

Yes, it will, Carol, get out the Florida pictures and have a little yearn - or maybe not, might tip you right over, lol! Sorry, only teasing, I get SAD too and it is no fun. I'm also trying to take pics of my Crazy 15starts so far and it is a just too depressing light and they will look miserable! Nobody is going to believe I have started without proof! Looking forward to seeing Sew Lavender. Lots of love.

Fantastic giveaway win Carol! Oh, the sun will come out soon. Hang in there. It's been foggy and gloomy here lately.

Congrats on your win. Everything looks great. It's overcast and dreary here today, so I know how you feel.

What a wonderful giveaway you won!

Things have been gloomy in my end of the world as well for weeks! I can't even remember when the last time was that I wore sunglasses!

Hope you've got some sun today Carol. It's lovely up here, the sun has been shining so DH and had a walk along the seafront this morning. It was chilly but so nice.
