You too could be famous, write us a story!!

This first book is now also available as a paperback version from Amazon, with hopefully a full reproduction of the original book following shortly. To find them, please search for “united by a common thread” or “Julie Passey” on Amazon.

That was very restrained, did your purse run off and hide?! Lol
Many, many thanks, I have now responded via fb.

Fantastic blog, I love going to shows.

I would love to receive the tickets to Harrogate.

I really hope one day my work will be as good as all these. Your blog has inspired me just of to my sewing machine now.

Sounds interesting I have never done anything like this before oh and I love weird too

What a fantastic idea, I’d love to take part please, thank Ami

This sounds like fun, and I need something to get my mojo back. Please could I try both to start with and then make a decision about which to continue?

People seem to forget its to celebrate Jesus’s Birthday ! And I’m not religious..
Top tips from me include
1 house sit for friends who go away for Christmas so you get to see a nice tree for a few days then come home to a tatt free house
2 visit a country where Christianity is not a popular religion, highly recommend India

I don’t like the commercialism of Christmas, and I certainly don’t like the stress of it. The sooner I can get everything prepared and done, the better. We are having a buffet style meal – I’ve ordered the salads and sandwiches, – well, when you could have 10 people dropping in (stepsons, grandchildren and others) it is a lot easier, and it is something that I want to eat. I would have liked to to have Christmas Day to ourselves, and have Christmas 2 on Boxing Day, but that isn’t to be this year. Once we’ve done presents, I like the idea of time doing what each of us want to do. I’m not going to be caught up in the ‘what we should do’ trick – the day is what we make it, and when you have fostered children and young people for a while, you become adept at altering your expectations for the day, and going with the flow. I totally agree with you about the getting into debt – it is so unnecessary, and unhelpful.

I wish you a peaceful, restful, and joyous holiday.
