HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I think it still counts because the first week isn't over yet! But I do pray that all my dear blogging readers enjoy a great year and know peace and blessing from the Savior throughout 2013.
I've had a lovely couple of weeks visiting family and friends over Christmas and New Year and things seem to be returning to our established routine - a bit sad but more sane for me as the kids have been on a sugar rush but so happy and excited! So a healthy dose of calm is in order!
I've not had a chance to do too much sewing but after Christmas I always think snowmen. So I made a wooly candle mat~
There are little buttons on the tree for decorations.
Here's another penny mat from a freebie pattern - click
here and scroll down the page for it
Thought I'd better jump on the Valentine bandwagon like all well organised crafters and be more prepared for Feb 14. Here's a sneak peak of the redwork cross stitch I'm sewing at present.
Thanks for your visits and hopefully I can visit you all again, so please don't think I've forgotten you!
God bless this year

Your new snowmen are cute!! Glad you had a good Christmas! Happy New Year! Kids go back to school this Wednesday, can't wait for our routine to go back to normal!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine. My kids have been on a sugar rush too!! Wow, the level of energy they can produce is amazing sometimes. We are taking them swimming tonight to release some of it as they have been cooped up for so long. The pennies are so cute. Thanks for the link. Wishing you a Happy New Year too:) -Steph-
