Happy New Year

Gosh where has the year gone!! I finished my job, my oldest child finished University, found himself a job and left home, middle child spent 6 months studying in Australia and my last child left home to study at University. So although my job finished at the end of September somehow I haven't managed to spend much time working on my designs. I set out to have a clear out first and I am still getting rid of Stuff accumulated over lots of years. I have come to the conclusion that we don't need all the Stuff anymore that clutters up the place here. So one of my New Years resolutions is that I will get rid of it. Then Ted the handy man came and did some jobs in the house and.....What a mess! In October, Paul celebrated his 60th birthday and we had a party in Cornwall and a few days holiday in the Cotswolds. So I finish the last blogpost of 2012 with a few photo's of Hidcote

and Snowshill.

I wish you all a wonderful 2013 Marjolein XX

Christmas Snowflakes

For the last craftsession this year we had a Christmas theme. We made Christmas snowflakes with new chrystal and salvaged beads. This was one of the most successful crafting sessions we did as they all made a large and a small snowflake. Everyone enjoyed it very much and the snowflakes all sparkled.

Merry Christmas to all the followers of my Blog. I shall be back before the year finishes with another post and hopefully a look back on the past year. Have a merry time over the next week. MarjoleinX
