Happy New Year to all! Christmas is finally over, the decorations can come down and normality can return, Yippee!!! I don't mean to sound like Scrooge but I always find Christmas goes on just too long which must be wonderful if you have a big close family or a wild and wonderful social life but for the rest of us it just means putting life on hold until all the fuss has died down. However, I stuck to my guns and took a complete 'textile break' and now I can't wait to get my hands covered in dye and my fingers pricked with needles again. Today I just have one more visit to make and tomorrow I can clear the decks in preparation for the husband to return to work and the daughter to return to school and then all systems go. Look out 2008- here I come.
