  2. You leave such lovely comments for me, I thought I'd pop over and say "hello"!

    Oh my, you have such a gorgeously colourful blog and home. I'm going to have to have a thorough poke.

    PS. The hole on my Mollie Makes calendar is a bit offset so it's terribly wonky - I have to put my head on one side to read it properly! x

  8. Hi,
    I linked from Country Rabbit and found your blog. I am your newest follower. I love it. I am really enjoying the pictures and it makes me want to go down and start a project in my sewing room. First I have to finish organizing it though, too bad. I can't wait to have time to go through all your posts to see what I have missed. Judging from what I have seen you and I have very similar taste. I also noted how you said you wish there were more hours in the day to do more projects, I totally understand! I'm so glad I found you. Do you have a button link that I could place on my blog? Have a wonderful day and happy new year!
