So here we are into 2024 with all our resolutions, to do lists, expectations etc. It doesn’t seem like a year ago that we did the same thing, so how did we go?

Hmmm…..I had a pretty good 2023, except I seriously got behind with my sewing in the latter part of the year. Consequently I had very little completed in the way of Christmas items to sell which was annoying and disappointing.

I like to take the time between Christmas and New Year to clean my sewing room and get up to date on any repairs, projects not finished etc. so that’s all done now and I’m looking forward to a positive and productive 2024.

Here is a table runner featuring red poppies that wasn’t finished until December, so I had to put it on the table unfinished to commemorate Remembrance Day on 11 November. Also my Christmas star table centre not finished until 20 December!

Last year I made lots of reading pillows which sold very well. This year, because I was running so far behind, I decided on embroidered tea towels because I thought they would be quick and easy! Ha, not sew! (You see what I did there? Lol) Still trying to perfect them to be good enough to sell. I think I’m nearly there!
