How is your half term going? So far we've survived the school shoe shopping trip, a broken brace, colds and the builders. And it's only Monday 😬

Too early? Not if you are a crafter, Christmas projects start early. I have so many works in progress that I started too late each year. Holly wreath pattern is available as a free digital pdf chart on the blog now. Links in bio

This has got to have been the longest half term ever. Or it certainly feels like it. Dreading when the cold weather really kicks in after the break. Has the half term started for you yet or are you next week?

Sneak peak at the new chart hitting your inboxes tomorrow morning! Not signed up to my newsletter? Click the link in my bio. #crossstitch #crossstitcher #crossstitching #crossstitchlove #crossstitchcrazy #crossstitchaddict #crossstitchpattern #crossstitchersofinstagram

Spooky season! I am still here, just quietly drowning under the increased workload at school. So glad I only teach part time.

If you want if for free, head over to the blog where you can download it and hopefully sew some in time for Halloween. Links are in bio
