We're All Going On A ... Err ... Winter ... Holiday!

I've been humming a Cliff Richard song for the last few days ...

"We're all going on a Summer Holiday, no more working for a week or two ..."

I know, I know ... it's WINTER here in Australia, but the song got stuck in my head! And then I worked it out ... it's SUMMER in the UK where the movie this song came from was set!!! :0) OK ... so now that that VERY important issue was settled ... it was time for me to prepare for MY holiday. (Sorry Chookyblue, just had to get in one more little boast about it! Tee! Hee! Hee!)

Now, while we're planning to do lots of things and see lots of family and friends, I REALLY want to get caught up with my "Gardener's Journal" stitching cos an unexpected magazine commission put me WAY behind where I thought I would be by now. So yesterday afternoon, in the depths of my sewing room, I got tracing ...

The blocks for July and August all traced off, plus I still have to build Woof the dog his dog house from June's block. You can see I really have some catching up to do. But that's OK, cos ...

"We're all going on a ... WINTER ... holiday!" :0)

See you when I get back and happy stitching to you all. Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
