New for 2022

Post Hugglets!
Well, Hugglets has been and gone so it really feels that we are slipping into the autumn season, how sad to say goodbye to the lovely evening light to sew by. Still, there are evenings by the fire to look forward to. I am well on the way with the production of two entries for […]
