The festivities are almost over, along with the year, and we’re all looking back over 2011, getting ready to look forward to what 2012 will bring.  As usual, I didn’t complete anywhere near what I wanted to do this Christmas in terms of crafty projects.  I have, however, achieved something more important – I have [...]

This morning, I suddenly realised that the last time I blogged was a week ago!  It really doesn’t seem like that long!
