I  finished my June Christmas Ornament…here it is…

My Mum has been having a loft clear out, she used to collect antique china but has now sold them all, but she thought I would appreciate these little treasures…

my wall is getting fuller….just got to finish off my kitchen then my stitching sideboard can come downstairs and will live in the alcove just below these….

Finally Lei emailed me to let me know that my private exchange to her had arrived and that she loves it…I’m delighted she does, I wanted to do a bright and summery design….
