Thanks Carol!

I am making the hearts for a friend who is Sister working in the neonatal unit in Sheffield. She says it really helps the bond between baby and mother especially when baby is too poorly to be held at all.

I have been getting back into hand stitching these last few months and find I am enjoying it so much. So I shall be interested to see your boro and sashiko works as they develop.

I really like your idea of hat to pick the month’s WIP out from. I can see that might work for me too. I have some projects that would benefit from some input too! Good luck! Off to write my list!

Good luck settling in and sorting out your craft room. We moved to a new area when we retired and had to build a small extension so I could have a craft room but I still have quite a lot of fabric stored in bedroom cupboards!

A very interesting journey you have had! We’re you working while doing both those C&G courses? I did a C&G Further Adult Education Teaching Certificate and lectured one day a week at the same time and found it hard work! Where did you do your Sketchbook course? I would love to do that!
