Hello everyone,

So, it's begun - the run-up to Christmas! Already the shops have wrapping paper, cards and novelty gifts just inside their front doors - enough to make you turn right around and go out again!

But for crafters you have to start early, whether you like it or not to ensure you're finished before Christmas. (I'll share a guilty secret with you - I still haven't quite finished my best friends' stitched gift from 2 - yes 2- years ago - good thing we're best friends, eh?!) I bet there's lots of us out there with the very best of intentions, and imaginations and hearts bigger than our fingers! (to steal the phrase about eyes and stomachs).

I'm off this week to Glasgow to do the big Hobbycraft Christmas show at the SECC, and then just lots of smaller local events until Christmas. Family commitments meant I couldn't do the NEC Hobbycrafts in November this year. I'll miss the buzz of the show and seeing all our regular customers, but family comes first. Please do phone me if there's anything you need or were hoping to source at the show from us. (01296 640234) I've sourced some delightful new things from Scandinavia and some fun new stencils, so have a look at the website under What's New: www.homespunhearts.com

That's it for now; if you get an order in to me by early this week, I'll try to save it aside for you and post it when I return from Glasgow. Take care and have a lovely holiday season. Remember, no one knows what huge lists of things you're planning to accomplish except you - don't beat yourself up if it doesn't all get finished. We'd rather have you happy than frazzled...

Kind regards,
Lynn
