Japan Shopping here we come

Cloud and I are now both in Japan and boy is it cold. We are both in different cities at the moment but rest assured that when we meet up next week we will be searching high and low for great new fabrics for our store.

Our Etsy store is in vacation mode for the duration of our trip and will be re opening on the 1st March with 3rd March being our first shipping date.

New Years Resolution, kind of

I know that it is February but I think I have finally decided upon a New Years resolution. I am going to finish the Michael Powell Secret Garden Cross Stitch that I purchase a few years back. It has been sitting in a sewing frame in the lounge room for the past year or so and during that time I have only completed approx 1/6 of the cross stitching.

My interest in Cross Stitch comes and goes, one year I will cross stitch like a maniac and then the next I have no interest in it at all. This year I have a renewed interest in cross stitch.

Here is a WIP shot.

and here is what it will look like by the end of the year (I hope).
