<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Okay, so I've missed the Christmas episode,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and too late for the New Years Eve one as well!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">It's been a while...</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">again!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So I will start by wishing you all </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">happy, creative, adventurous</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">new year :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I think it's going to be a </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">particularly good one for all of us :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">...not into making resolutions,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but like many I tend to reflect</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">on the year gone by...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">remembering the good </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and a little of the not so good.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">But then I move on...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to think about the year ahead.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The possibilities are endless,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">only limited by imagination and choice,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and there is always, always choice.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">One of the choices I made </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">this past year</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was to go to France for a little holiday.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Perhaps what made it all the more </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">exciting</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was that it was totally </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">unplanned.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I had a choice...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to go or not to go</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">(long story)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and literally overnight</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I went!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Three of the most ''alive'' weeks of my life.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Amazing in every single sense.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I will most definitely be returning</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to that part of the world...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Another choice I made,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">on my return,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was to join instagram.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Such an incredibly inspiring forum.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">As some of you will know,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I don't really go many places</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">without my camera.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Very much a complete amateur</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but I do love taking photos of pretty things :)<br />If you want to be inspired by beautiful images</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and incredibly creative people,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">then go check out instagram.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Perhaps one of the reasons,I think,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">why I am here a little </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">less often.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Ooops :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Big stitchy choice I made,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was to do more of it !!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Loving the feel of needle and thread</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in hand again.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">A little of what I've been doing ...</span></div>

</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">The year that has been,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">has been :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">It was a learning year, this one.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">A little tough at times, still,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but there were also times</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">of phenomenal happiness</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and pride.</span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">of my free time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">cos it's not a garden day,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">... and this is the project I want to complete next...</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I think it's been over two years since</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have touched it</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">which is a little shameful</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I know.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">It's ''Jane Austen's Bonnet'' quilt -</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">an absolutely exquisite quilt</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">designed by Brenda Ryan.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have done all the stitching</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and half put it together </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">so really</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">there is no excuse is there :)</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><em>How does my work differ from others of it's genre?</em></span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span></em> </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">...hmmm...</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> not quite sure how to answer this one :)</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I think everyone's work is different</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to anything else,</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">cos we all stitch in our own</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">unique style.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I do like to use lots of linen</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and lace</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and the occasional button :)</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In recent years I have found myself</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">drawn more and more</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">towards simple stitching</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and softer shades of </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">thread </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">and fabric.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Why do I create what I do?</em></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">... that's easy ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">cos I like stitching :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I found only two gorgeous</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">stitchy shops</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">when I was away.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">A fabulous tiny cross stitch shop,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in Briancon,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the walls covered</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in stitched samples</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I could not leave these books behind ...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">... so many beautiful designs </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in these pages.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The hard part will be deciding which to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">stitch first :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Loved these magazines ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">whilst I have absolutely</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">no idea what the articles say,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the pictures are definitely </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">worth</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">if I lived in Briancon</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">But...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">they also had a stand</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">... to remind me of the many walks I took,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">because everywhere you went</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">you could hear the bells ringing.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">At times,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">depending on how many cows in the herd</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">were wearing bells,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it was like a musical :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Quite extraordinary</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and such a pretty sound.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in a strange city</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">you can get away with making</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">some pretty dumb and ever so slightly </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">hair raising mistakes </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We went camping for most of our holiday -</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">lots of fun,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and thankfully it didn't rain </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">any of the nights we were under canvas.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In fact it rained for a short time only one day.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Blissfully hot and summery the whole time:)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">It was magic :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Almost all of the walks</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">were always worth it,</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This was where Jake's first mountain bike race</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was being held.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So again I did lots of walking</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">while he was riding and racing.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I managed to find a track that I was pretty sure</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">would take me to the border of Spain.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And it did :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I will admit that it took a little longer</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">than I had anticipated,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and it took me a little higher into the mountains</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">than I realised,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but hey,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">for some ridiculous reason,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it feels really good to be able to say</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">"I walked to Spain" :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Leaving Andorra, we headed back north,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but not before a slight detour to the sea.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I just didn't think it would be right,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">not to at least be able to say</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I had dipped my toes into the Mediterranean</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">when we were so close.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Like every other day of the holiday,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it was incredibly hot,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">so it was a mad dash across the sand</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to the waters edge,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and dip my toes I did :)</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This was in fact</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the only town that we passed through</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">where I found a stitchy shop,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">two of them !!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">One was a gorgeous little cross-stitch shop</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">where a couple of fabulous books</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">found their way into my hands,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and the other was a furnishing fabric shop</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that just happened to have </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the most divine selection of</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">ribbons and laces.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And yes, of course I could not leave</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">without a selection :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">It just wouldn't have felt right</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The towns and villages just seemed</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to get prettier.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">To get to this town,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">though,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">we crossed a mountain range so high.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Over 2600 metres,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and in places it really was quite scary </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">looking over the side of the road</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">More walking high up into the hills</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">during the days.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The wildflowers were in full bloom,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">historic villages along the way.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">There is something about the houses</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that inrigues me.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Not sure if it is the stonework,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">or the window shutters and doors</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">(I have to admit to having taken quite a few pictures,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">several dozen I'm sure,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> of windows and doors :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">or maybe it's the colours.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I don't know,</span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Okay ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> so I've been asked,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">every so often,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">where do I get the bits and bobs</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I make things with.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it's just ''stuff'' </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">in my sewing room :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Stuff I've collected over the years,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">stuff that I think</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">''this will come in handy one day".</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Some of it's stuff</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I make up with a bit of stamping</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">or extra stitching.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Some of it is stuff</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">from when my Mum had a clear out,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and some is stuff</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I've found in op shops.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Then there's stuff left over </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">from</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">"The Stitchery" days,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and not forgetting the stuff</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that you just have to buy,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">not knowing what you will do with it,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but knowing that you can't do without it :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">was thinking ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I'll put together a little collection of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">stuff,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">for ''making''.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well, yes ....</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it's been a month ....</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and do you know what I have been doing</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">for the past month - </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">working!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Sheesssh!!!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Just the way it goes sometimes,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but my goodness,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it's been a very very very long month.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Today I am having a day off</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and I don't care in the least that it </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">is cold and wintry outside,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it's just nice to be home :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So... the challenge ....</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the Strawberry Tarts have actually met twice</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">since I showed you the challenge,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but have to say,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the first get together was a non-event</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">when it came to show and tell.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">One of them forgot to bring hers:)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">... and the other couldn't make it :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> I had stitched some of mine </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">so was secretly quite relieved that</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">we had more time to complete it.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This is as far as I got back then ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">... and when we got together a couple of nights ago,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">this was what I showed them ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">... I know,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it looks remarkably similar doesn't it :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So we have</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"> a bit over a month to complete it</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and I have to get myself organised</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to make up the next challenge kit for these girls.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Now that is going to be fun.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Did a little bit of this stitching</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">at some point over the past few weeks.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">They're two little projects</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I'm working on.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Slow going though :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Sometimes you've just got to make some stitches</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">even though you are not quite sure</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">where they are going.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> I have a vague idea of what these</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">will become,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but in the meantime,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I will just keep adding a few more stitches</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">until ... </span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I think that winter has arrived today -</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it is sooooo chilly.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I have some bits and bobs to put on the sale page,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but I think I will be not moving very far</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">from the heater.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And then I'm thinking,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a few more stitches,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a glass of red,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and can I have chocolate with that as well:)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">See you :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A few weeks back,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">two friends and I got together</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">for an evening of pizza, wine and lots of chat.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We call ourselves </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">"The Strawberry Tarts" :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Don't ask - it's a long story :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Anyway,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">one of the tarts brought along</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a little parcel</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">of goodies for each of us,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and set the challenge.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We had until the next ''meeting''</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to make something using the contents </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">of the parcel.</span></div>

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">is it that time of the year already??</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Noooo!!!</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I am certain that autumn only started a few days ago,</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> I've been stuck inside for the day,</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">so I decided to spend it </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">playing around </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I suspect that in another couple of years</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I know,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I should have been in the garden today,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but I had bunnies on my mind :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">A couple of nights ago,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">while out pounding the pavements,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I was thinking about these</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">little bunnies</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I first made</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> a couple of years back.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I wondered about </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">doing them in linen and lace.</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it was my day off today ...</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">chores were done in record time,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and then I was off to the sewing room.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">To indulge in a little bit of whimsy.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Bliss :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Some of you will know</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I have a bit of a soft spot</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">for bunnies.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">linen and lace </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and buttons </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">and hearts :)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So I put them all together ...</span></div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">He's off to France in June,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to race enduro.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">But wow -</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">the costs are staggering!!!</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">under two thousand.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I thought - maybe I could sell</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">some of my quilts.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Have been thinking of a way to collect</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">all my stitching samples</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">together.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">You know - </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">all the ones I did for the shops,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and the studio,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and just for me just for fun.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Well,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I thought,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a quilt would be the answer.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Randomly stitch and piece them together,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and see what happens.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So I've begun to collect them all up -</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">some are still in their raw unfinished state,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">others had become cushions</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and others... </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">wall hangings.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I've cut them out of the cushions</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and the wall hangings,</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and this is what is happening ...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I found a piece of pink cardigan</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I had chopped off</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">to make a long cardigan</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"> short.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I remember thinking at the time I chopped it off</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">that I should keep the remnant</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">just in case :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">My hearts need a backing,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a pretty little wire hanger,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">So... </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">on Saturday I went for a little day trip.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I offered to drive someone to an event,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">thinking it would be a nice excuse for a day out,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I didn't know it would mean </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">a 4.30 a.m. start!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">(am pretty sure he forgot to mention that minor detail,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">though I can't imagine why!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Have to say, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I didn't exactly bounce out of bed</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">(come on - </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;">who bounces at that time of the morning!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">but you know what -</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">it turned out to be one of those perfect days:)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This was the view</span></div>
<div align="center">
