Hello again, What a busy time I have had with the shop and the farm and the children starting back at school.  I was hoping to have worked out a routine by now but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I just seem to pop on what hat I need to when needed.  Some for those of you that are wondering what days I am open, I am still open by appointment and am quite flexible.  So just give me a call and we will work something out. Our January stitching day has come and gone and we had a great day.  The 365 perpetual hexagons are keeping those busy that are working on them and at has bought a lot of chatter to the stitching table.  Anyone that still wants to join in I can still get you the books and papers.  For those of you who would like to get involved with the hexagon challenge but don't want to commit to 365, I am also running the 52 hexagons which can be completed using papers or Eppiflex templates.  Just let me know which one you would prefer.  This is a example of a hexagon I stitched last night. Our February Stitching day has snuck up on me as well and it will be this Thursday 22nd Feb, here at Pinegrove.  I hope you will be able to make it .  10am to 4pm, please bring your own lunch. A couple of weekends ago I hosted Angie from Gnome Angel she came and taught us Fussy Cutting Fundamentals, we all had a great day learnt a lot regarding fussy cutting and fabric selection, we all certainly won't look at fabric in the same way again. I am looking at hosting her again in April/May. I am just waiting to secure an exact date from Angie.  Once I get a date I will let you all know as I have a few already on the waiting list.  Let me know if you are interested and I can add you to the list. I have plenty of new stock loaded on the website as well and new things keep rolling in every week.  Follow me on Instagram to check out what is going on in the shop. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have had some time for something that makes you happy. Happy Stitching Mandyx
