Hi!! I hope you have all had a wonderful christmas! It's been lovely here, hectic but lovely. Helen is home from London, James is home from university and my parents came for christmas lunch. I have to admit though that I felt slightly liberated tonight when I put the turkey carcass in the rubbish, my mum would make soup, I am not a making soup kind of girl but as long as it remains in the house the spectre of the carcass that could be soup hangs over me, so it had to go!!
This evening has been a welcome rest, empty house all to myself, husband at work, offspring out and some much needed therepeutic embroidery completed, more on that tommorrow. Instead I am going to show you this wonderful gift I got from my youngest brother. It's a first edition presentation set of stamps from the Swedish post office along with another set of the actual stamps. They tell the story of Swedish fashion design, I think the illustrations are beautiful and feel really lucky to have received such an unusual, special gift.
