I'm Here............

Hi everyone, I'm Lizzie and I'm happy to be joining you. As so many of you have already stated 'sleep is overrated', so here I am, I'm in and hopefully I can keep up????? Hehe, we'll see.



I bought the book early last year and that was as far as I got. I've decided to stitch on a natural homespun and yesterday I picked up the American Jane range 'A Breath of Avignon' in a layer cake and jelly roll. I really wanted something bright and breezy so I'm hoping that will do the trick.

I managed to trace 'watering the garden' the other night, I need to put needle to fabric this week.

Looking forward to the encouragement and camaraderie that always comes from group blogs.
