When I started this project, only January has been released but I loved it so much that I decided there and then that I wanted to give it a go, even though I'd only ever completed one cross stitch piece previously. Since then, I've loved each and every design as it's been released and it will build up in to such a beautiful project. It's nice to hear that your Christmas celebrations have begun. Christmas to me means sharing the celebrations with family so it's lovely to hear your daughter and grandchildren have been visiting and that more family are yet to arrive. Enjoy.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-84472792669835006732016-12-15T09:33:53.323+00:002016-12-15T09:33:53.323+00:00You're right.

You'll have an enjoyable time in the new year doing April. I hope you have a lovely time with your family during the Christmas holiday period. Thank you for your kind message on my recent blog post.
