We have had soooo much snow here in my part of the North East - somewhere between Sunderland and Durham - at least 10 inches and not much chance of getting out anywhere ....  here are just a few pics .... just can't seem to get the pics to move next to each other !!

Harrogate here we come !!

On Friday some members of our online stitching group ( Friendly Stitchers)  will be meeting up for the weekend in Harrogate which ties in nicely with the Harrogate Knitting and Stitching show !
We did this last year and stayed at a lovley hotel - and doing the same thing this year - always great to meet up with friends and members, have a chat over dinner - see how the group is going and perhaps let members in on some of the things we have planned for 2011 - including new charts and SAL's - so watch this space ....

Harrogate Stitching Show

It will soon be time for the Harrogate Stitching Show !!
Once again our online stitching group will be there for the weekend. Last year we stayed at a nice hotel just over the road from the International Halls where the show is held. We had a great time and if I remember correctly, there were around 12 of us. We have again arranged a 2 day stay at the same hotel and it will be great to meet up with stitching pals again and of course, do some stash shopping !
Harrogate is a lovely town and there are some lovely places to visit including the famous  'Betty's Tea Rooms'  -  always worth a visit.
After stash shopping on both days, we will all meet up for dinner in the hotel , exchange news, show stash and generally have a good natter ....

Anniversary sampler


In September my best friend's mum and dad celebrated 60 years of marriage so I stitched them a sampler

Congrats to Nan and John
