I was so glad to get back home, and was so tired that I just had to rest...... I think old age is starting to creep up on me... LOL

Jan 2010 Newsletter....

January 2010 Newsletter:

Hi Everyone,

I am finally here with some things to share. The start of the year has seen me very busy, I am almost finished the last lot of the Teddy Club. Due to my hubby's severe illness last year I have been way behind in getting the last month out. But I have just one more thing to go and it is finished. A very big thank you to all who have been very patient with me over these last very tiring and stressful 6 months. Hubby is improving albeit it very slowly and he still cannot walk unaided and is still in a considerable amount of pain. But he is alive and that is what counts most of all......


I am going to use this blog as my newsletter blog so please come back here each month to see what is available etc. To see what we are making each week go to my Typepad blog.
