Happy New Year

I would like to wish all my blog friends a very Happy New Year  and a special wish for a good 2013

I have been playing in my craft room for the last few days tidying up and getting more than 6inches square to work on on my desk!

as you can see I have been cross stitching again both Rich and I have this terrible virus and are confined to the house with chest infections.....so no New Year revelry's for us a quiet evening with a good DVD!
 I wish you all a happy and healthy 2013.
