Easing back in

Hello folks :-) So I'm feeling a little less stressed out about the situation I very vaguely mentioned in my last post, I am such a worrier at times. Thankfully I feel like things are going to be okay and fingers crossed everyone will be happy.
And I think that it is about time that I made an appearance here on my blog (what do you think of the new festive look?). Thank you all so very much for your patience and also for your wonderful comments and the lovely emails I have been receiving, they all mean so much.
Although I have not been blogging, I have been stitching :-) and I will have some pictures for you next week.
I took part in a christmas ornament exchange on the Hooked on Exchanging blog. Stitching for me was LynnB. I have long admired Lynn's beautiful stitching, so I was thrilled to be the recipient of this lovely ornament.

It really is fab. Thank you so much Lynn :-)

We have been luck to escape much of the snow that has been blanketing the rest of the U.K. we have only had about 2" but we are suffering with the bitterly cold temperatures though. I can't remember a time when I have had to wear so many layers! Thankfully we have central heating, and a coal fire in the lounge which has been helping to keep us all cozy, and get the washing dried too :-)
I hope that wherever you are, you are managing to keep warm too.
