New Computer

We have a new imac desktop this is my first outing on it,  not easy at all, just used photoshop to do my photos to have to resize my pictures as they came out tiny once I published them so not impressed, everything is wi-fi so have to remember to switch the keyboard and mouse off.
Enough about that here is an exchange I have received from Amy it is a Shepherds Bush pincushion which is embellished with buttons with a loverly ribbon edging.


I also did the Lizzie Kate exchange and I sent Marie this Christmas Ornament.


I have also been working on the LHN Vanilla and Chocolate chart, this has been finished as a thread  wallet on the LHN site you could buy a pre-made thread wallet but was rather expensive as it is from the states so I have decided to make my own watch this space.
