Yesterday I delivered gifts, I collected gifts.
Today I ''trimmed''.
Stitched ''picture'' greetings made for my children when they were small.
My tree.

For centuries women have used cloth as a tool of comfort and as an expression of beauty within their homes. Creating cloth for warmth, cloth for shelter, our female predecessors embellished these linens with hand stitch using laborious and time consuming techniques thereby enhancing the functional beauty of objects which enveloped and protected their families. Inspired by these women I hope my creations pay tribute to and recognise the devotion expressed in cloth by our female ancestors .

loving white....
Yep, sorry, still addicted to the white stuff. Not snow though, I am sitting here with everything crossed that we don't suffer the same as other parts of the country. I love snow, really love it it's so pretty but it's not compatible with stress free driving or even stress free walking. Every time I walk in snow I do some amazing double pirouettes, ones that would put Olympic gymnasts to shame and I always expect someone to pop out from behind the bushes with a score card....5.9 for gold!! So given the choice I will leave it thank you. We had a little flurry earlier but I promptly gave it the ''stare of death'' and off it popped. Good.
Weather report over now and on to embroidery. Another white one finished and the love of white remains undiminished. Next to me I have a stack of linen, lace, trims and edges waiting to be ironed and folded. Oh folding, love that too.
