Happy New Year and Thank You!!

Hello everyone and a great big 

Happy New Year!!

 I hope 2020 brings health, wealth and happiness to you all.

My card today is some inspiration for the new challenge at


We have made Thank You cards. 

I have been busy with needle and aida since Boxing Day and made this...


it was a free pattern from the amazingly talented Durene Jones that I adapted to suit my own thread stash and time constraints!! The stitched panel is just short of four inches, so I made a whopping eight inch card with a small silver inner frame and a lavender pearl board embossed mat. Nothing more needed.

So, that is my crafty year started off nicely and I hope you will have time to join in.

See you soon xx

A fabulous card to kick off 2020 Sarah. I once bought a tiny cross stich card to make for my Mum on Mother's Day and it took me forever to finish it. When she passed away, I brought it back home with me as I knew how much work I'd put into it and I just couldn't bare to part with it lol! Wishing you a very happy and colourful 2020. Crafty hugs, Sandra x
